It is difficult to define what we consider as very high heating. In part, because the sensations associated with temperature vary from person to person. In this way, the cold suffered by someone accustomed to hot weather is not the same as one who lives in geographic areas where snow falls, for example.
Adequate heating should be between 20 and 25 ºC, with a humidity of around 50%. Above 25 ºC, we would be talking about too high heating; which would be harmful to health, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
The right temperature for humans
It is assumed that the sensation of cold in humans occurs below 20 ºC of ambient temperature. It will increase at a lower temperature, but it also depends on other factors such as ambient humidity and air pressure.
In this sense, a record of 10 ºC in a humid place is not the same as in a dry place. Nor is the sensation the same, regardless of the outside temperature, whether we are still or moving. When there is no bodily activity, the cold suffers more ; since the cells are not in active metabolism and do not generate heat.
For this reason, in the face of the cold, humans use artificial heating to warm themselves. However, like any method used in excess, very high heating can cause alterations in the body and some health risks.
The risks of high heating depending on the method we use
There are two heating methods that, if used frequently, have noticeable detrimental effects.
