The doctor indicated the time of walking in the cold without harm to health

General practitioner Nadezhda Chernyshova told how much you can walk in the cold without harm to your health.

In conversation with aif.ru On Monday, February 2, she noted that the duration of walks directly depends on the air temperature. According to her, at -15 degrees you can stay outside for 40-60 minutes, at -20 — no more than 15-20 minutes, and at -25 degrees and below it is better to give up walking. She noted that it is not recommended to go out in the cold if a person feels unwell.

The doctor noted that only completely healthy people should walk in cold weather. Chernyshov also talked about proper preparation for going outside: the face must be lubricated with a special protective cream 30-60 minutes before going out, so that the product has time to absorb and effectively protect the skin.

In addition, the specialist warned that alcohol should not be consumed before walking in the cold, as it increases heat dissipation and increases the risk of frostbite.
