In summer, people go to the metro to get relief from the scorching heat and humidity, where they start feeling relaxed as soon as they reach the AC. Especially in areas like Delhi-NCR, the outside temperature sometimes crosses 40 degrees, in such a situation the cold air provides instant relief. But health experts say that going straight from extreme heat to a very cold environment can suddenly put pressure on the body.

According to experts, the body takes time to balance itself according to temperature. When a person immediately goes from the hot sun to an environment with strong AC, it can affect the body, skin and respiratory problems.

Is it right or wrong to switch from summer to AC?

Health experts say that the body temperature increases in the outside heat and the body tries to keep itself cool through sweat. In such a situation, when very cold air suddenly comes, the body faces difficulty in changing its temperature. Due to this, many people may feel headache, fatigue or stiffness in the body.

What problem could there be?

According to doctors, sitting in a loud AC immediately after coming from the sun can affect the throat. Cold and dry air can cause sore throat, dryness or cough. For people who have allergies, asthma or sinus problems, this can increase the problem further.

What should be done?

Experts believe that switching to AC definitely provides relief to the body from heat, but this change should happen gradually. After coming out from the sun, it is considered better to stay in normal temperature for a few minutes. This gives the body time to adjust itself.

How to keep yourself safe?

• Avoid drinking very cold water immediately after coming out from the sun.
• Sit in a strong AC only after the sweat dries.
• If the AC feels too loud in the metro or office, use a light cloth or stole.
• It is very important to keep the body hydrated.

Metro or AC definitely provide relief, but going straight from extreme heat to very cold environment can affect the body. A little caution and balance can help prevent health problems in summer.
