I radiators they are undoubtedly a great convenience to counter the freezing cold of recent days and to make our apartment more welcoming, but pay attention to how they are used: incorrect or careless use of heaters can first of all damage our health, before being a waste of energy and, consequently, an increase in the bill.
If kept on for many hours a day, the radiators they will make the air in the house too dry: This can lead to dry skin, eyes and mouth - especially in frail people such as the elderly or children. Furthermore, too dry air can aggravate the health conditions of people already suffering from respiratory diseases. To overcome this problem, we recommend starting to use a humidifier every time we turn on the radiators.
In addition to the problem of dry air, living in too hot environments can also harm the quality of our sleep. The ideal temperature for sleeping is around 19 ° C: if it is too hot in the room, we may have difficulty falling asleep or have problems with insomnia. How can we avoid these risks? First of all, let's avoid keeping the radiators (or the air conditioner) on during the night. If, on the other hand, during the day, we have the radiators on, remember to turn them off a few hours before going to sleep - in this way the house will be able to cool down and we will be able to sleep more peacefully. Sleeping little or badly, of course, brings with it many small and large ailments. We will begin by being tired and not very reactive during the day, behaving with intolerance and aggression towards those around us; in addition, we will be more stressed and nervous, and less likely to devote ourselves to work, looking after the house or family.
But a too high temperature in the house can also have more serious consequences: excessive heat prevents our metabolism from burning fat that would otherwise be transformed into thermal energy: this can lead to weight gain and other metabolic-related disorders - such as diabetes.
