A winter storm is beating the U.S., spanning the central and the eastern parts, leaving 40 million people under a storm watch. When the temperature drops your body shunts blood flow to the core to stay warm. Doctors have witnessed increases in emergency rooms for respiratory viruses, frostbite, and hypothermia, as people seek refuge from cold weather. A physician said that what you wear protects you. To stay warm and healthy, lots of layers are helpful, especially covering the most vulnerable parts of your body like toes, fingers, and ears with breathable fabric. If you use electronic medical devices, make sure you can back them up when the power goes down. The way of heating your house is also important; don’t use gas, propane, or engine-powered heating devices indoors, as it risks carbon monoxide.
