Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. This article will debate the harmless and beneficial cold.
Question: What if a decrease in temperature causes a deterioration in blood supply due to vasoconstriction. Less blood in tissues - worse immune response?
Answer: This is a popular theory. There are various theories. All these theories have come across practice - all other things being equal, they don't get colds from the cold. On cell culture, rats are tested and it turns out that people are obliged to get sick. But again, nothing happens on living people in their natural habitat. Some kind of magic ...
Question: My children are sick with ARVI, like all the children around, but none of the three have ever had a sore throat, since they eat curds and so on from the complementary foods cold from the refrigerator, I don't heat ice cream. But in children, who are all given warmth with ARVI, why does the throat often hurt?
Answer: This is a myth. They believe in him. They only notice him because they believe in him. This is psychology.
Question: What other myth, children of friends who are warmed with ice cream have a sore throat, those who eat cold never hurt, a selection of 30 families?
Answer: There are not 30 families, but 30,000 families. This is a well-known psychological phenomenon. Illusion. People notice what they expect to see. And they don't notice what they don't expect.
Question: Explain to me then: why should you just eat ice cream or drink cold water - does your throat start to hurt, it hurts to swallow?
Answer: Many people do this. The connection is not obvious, people just believe in it and start remembering ice cream. But there was no ice cream. Then they remember cold water. But there was no cold water. Then they begin to believe that their throat ached from water at room temperature and since then they warm the water before drinking it. But they still get sick. This is a common human suspiciousness and obstinacy.
Question: Systematic hypothermia and rheumatic diseases of the joints... Strengthening the nervous system with a contrast shower. Myth?
Answer: Strengthening is not a myth. It even became fashionable. Now they are trying to influence the nerves and psyche, irritating the vagus nerve. And there was also a publication that it was possible to cope with depression by swimming in cold water. There are no rheumatic diseases from hypothermia of the joints. On the contrary, ice is used for inflammation in the joints. It has a non-specific anti-inflammatory effect.
Question: A person who is accustomed to the cold is most likely still more likely not to get sick in the cold than an unaccustomed person. Why, then, don't I immediately find decent research on tempering from an evidence-based medicine perspective?
Answer: This is already a matter of faith. The funny thing is that many "advanced" doctors strongly deny the disease from the cold, but they recommend hardening. They have such mimicry. Instinctive worship of fashion without understanding the essence.
Question: Will professional cleaning of the conditioner help from a sore nose?
Answer: Sore noses are caused by viruses during the cold season. Viruses live in the noses of living people, but don't live in air conditioners. Mold and very rarely legionella lives in air conditioners. They don't get cold.
Question: Is there no benefit from an air conditioner?
Answer: Of course it happens. Air conditioners help not to overheat in the heat, they literally save weak people. In hot weather, older people are advised to stay for a while under the air conditioner to cool down properly.
