Too cold is bad, too hot is even worse.
The optimal temperature in the home varies depending on the season. It is important to consider not only the temperature but also the humidity level. At elevated temperatures, both mental and physical performance decreases.
Moreover, high temperatures increase the load on the cardiovascular system and suppress the immune system. As a result, a person is more likely to catch colds, develop runny noses, and become more susceptible to angina, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases.
Too cold a temperature in the apartment is also undesirable. In low-temperature conditions, a person is more likely to suffer from ARVI, bronchitis, and pneumonia, and chronic diseases may also worsen.
Humidity level is another important factor. If the house is too dry, the mucous membranes dry out, increasing the likelihood of diseases such as influenza. On the other hand, high humidity can lead to a decrease in immunity, exacerbation of chronic diseases, and the appearance of mold, which can cause allergies and respiratory diseases.
To avoid these problems, it is necessary to maintain the correct temperature regime. In summer, the indoor temperature should be between 20 and 28 degrees, while in winter it should be between 18 and 24 degrees.
As for humidity, the optimal level is between 50 and 70 percent.
