Content: It’s advised not to run your AC at low temperatures, especially if the AC is intended to run for many hours. The colder the environment gets, the more favorable it becomes for cold- and cough-causing bacteria to multiply. To control dryness, keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of water. Also, use moisturizer if your skin is sensitive to losing moisture in an air-conditioned environment. Increased Visits to the Doctor
Studies have found that people who spend more time in air-conditioned environments display an increased use of healthcare services. The regular and continuous use of AC is found to be connected with rising number of complaints related to ENT (ears nose and throat) and respiratory problems. Researchers have also attempted to find the correlation between AC and blood pressure. Some studies have found that the temperature at which AC runs can affect our blood pressure. In those studies, it was discovered that small arteries in the skin constricted under the cold environment of an AC in an attempt to prevent heat loss from the body. The smooth flow of blood was affected due to this constriction, which heightened the blood pressure.
