1. Step into the air-conditioned room and gradually adjust the temperature
Avoid entering an air-conditioned room immediately after being exposed to the heat, especially if you have been sweating. The sudden change in temperature can lead to discomfort, chills, and goosebumps, which can be particularly risky for elderly individuals or young children.
It is advised that individuals with high body temperature should refrain from entering air-conditioned rooms.
Instead, it is recommended to sit outside for at least 15 minutes or use a fan to cool down and wipe off sweat. Once the body has acclimated and is in a balanced state, you can then enter the air-conditioned room.
It is advisable to use a fan to cool down before turning on the air conditioner.
2. Set a reasonable temperature
Many people tend to set the air conditioner to temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius for immediate relief from heat. However, it is important to note that the ideal temperature should be 8-10 degrees Celsius lower than the outside temperature. This allows the body to adjust to the temperature gradually and prevents any sudden temperature shocks when moving between the air-conditioned room and the outdoors.
3. Avoid prolonged exposure to the air conditioner
Prolonged exposure to the air conditioner can cause dry skin due to moisture loss, hinder the body’s ability to sweat, and increase the risk of respiratory issues. It is recommended to limit the time spent in direct contact with the air conditioner to around 2 hours. Taking short breaks outside the air-conditioned environment can help maintain a healthy balance.
4. Familiarize yourself with and utilize all functions of the air conditioner
Take the time to understand the various functions of your air conditioner. During sleep, select the appropriate mode that suits each stage to avoid disruptions during the night due to temperature adjustments. Consider investing in an air conditioner that supports nighttime sleep mode for added convenience.
Additionally, air conditioners have the ability to eliminate odors in the room, such as cigarette smoke, pet odors, and pollen, making the indoor environment more pleasant and healthier.
Air conditioners offer various health benefits as well.
Furthermore, air conditioners aid in purifying the indoor air by removing pollutants and improving overall air quality.
