When hypothermia increases the risk of many diseases: among them SARS, heart diseases, dysfunctions of the nervous or endocrine system, the doctor said.

The doctor said that in the cold season the temperature in the house should not be lower than 20 degrees. The doctor noted that staying in an uncomfortably cold room has an adverse effect on the body. According to the doctor, existing chronic disorders may worsen in such conditions.

“Against the background of low temperatures, one's own microflora begins to multiply more intensively, which contributes to the exacerbation of chronic processes,” said the specialist.

The doctor added that hypothermia causes a reflex reaction of the body, which manifests itself as a narrowing of blood vessels and capillaries. This, in turn, slows down the immune response, and the prerequisites for morbidity appear. In particular, exposure to cold temperatures increases susceptibility to acute respiratory infections: rhinitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis. In addition, the specialist added: “Cold is a factor that aggravates the course of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, excretory, peripheral nervous and endocrine systems. For example, this applies to ischemic heart disease, hypertensive conditions, diabetes.”
