Good Lifestyle

As summer really strikes, thecoronavirus pandemic keep on going. For many, it means that travel plans and some hot weather events have been canceled. This also has the challenge of protecting you from the virus on the rise in temperatures. Disease Control Centers (CDC) continues to recommend most people (children of less than two people with serious breathing problems, and anyone who can not remove a mask themselves are exempt from the recommendation)Wear a mask or face coating In public, especially when social distancing is not possible. You may already find that covering half of your face is more uncomfortable on hot and sunny days. The good news is that there is an easy way to fight against this discomfort without sacrificing safety. Choosing a certain type of mask during the summer can keep you fresh.

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that is transmitted via infected droplets, which can be released when you breathe, speak, sternate, among others. For this reason, the CDC recommends that fabric masks and face coatings are made up of tightly woven fabric, which reduces fewer droplets in one direction that something with more open weaving. A linen mask, for example, could be cooler in the summer heat, but it would not be as effective in slowing spreading.Masks with valves (Created to serve an industrial, non-medical target) is also not recommended by CDC because they protect only the wearer. While you can breathe more easily in a mask with an open valve, you might be aAsymptomatic spreader, possibly transmit the disease to people around you.

So, if you can not buy a mask with a lighter valve or weaving material, how do you prevent you from overheating? Talking at CBS Local News in Pittsburgh, Primary Care DoctorBrian Lamb, Said thatThe color of your mask can make a difference. Lamb advised to wear a white or clear color mask to stay cool.

This is a tip that you probably remember from childhood, when you learned in science class thatThe clearer colors reflect more light, while dark colors absorb it. Therefore, wearing lighter clothing will keep you cool when you are in the sun. But there is another theory that wearsblackis actually the best choice because it absorbs heat before you do not reach your skin and also absorbs the heat of your body instead of reflecting it. By NPR, this theory applies only tobulk clothes, flowing or thick fabric, like black dresses worn byBedouins in the Sinai desert, as discovered in a 1980 study of 190 cited inNature. Basically, if this heat trapped has no place to go, you will always feel it. Your mask is probably not thick, and it should not be too loose, so you would not have the same advantage.

So the next time you shop for a mask, make sure you choose light colors or even pure white. And whatever the color you choose, make sureWash your mask After each wear,above allon torrid days. "Heat and moisture accumulate in your mask and make a beautiful breeding ground for bacteria," the local Lamb of the CBS.
