Underwear and new ways to insulate
Nobody wants to freeze. But wrap yourself in a few sweaters to wear three pairs of breeches - a dubious pleasure. Underwear - the very thing that makes it easier heavy winter routine.
If it was the whole secret - what would be said. But the underwear can be different. One for strolling leisurely step on the frozen city, the other - for skiing and playing snowballs. If you mix up - nothing bad will happen, but the effect is not the same.
How to choose the right? First of all, you need to know that all underwear is divided into two broad categories. First - this heat saving, the second - vlagovyvodyaschee. The first - for situations where you do not particularly active move, when the main thing - to keep warm. Second - for those occasions when you, by contrast, get warm, for example, from running, sweating, and whether to risk catching a cold.
Are investigated in detail. Heat saving underwear does not warm. It only prevents the loss of its own heat. In short, acts like a thermos. Keeps the heat from the air layer. The fabric has a linen weaving volume, cellular. These same cells and can form an air cushion. This lingerie is perfect for those who have to wait at bus stops - who is, almost without moving for a long time.
And for when you go to the park for skiing and snowball - fit more clothes, vlagovyvodyaschee. Its main function - to leave the skin dry. The inner surface of it, is that close to the body, there is always dry, the outer surface, when you actively move - it becomes wet. For the system worked well, according to the rules, such underwear to be worn a certain way - over thermal underwear should be wearing something cotton or fleece, something that can absorb moisture.
Now there are so-called combined thermal underwear, that is, combining both of these functions. The word "combination", in fact, represent different kinds of underwear: it can be a double-layer sheets, in which one layer of fabric will be responsible for teplosberezheniya, another - for Wicking. Is the same as the "combined" call sheets, details of which are cut different tissues of different types. For example, the sweatshirt is made of heat saving of tissue, and axillary areas are made of paste vlagovyvodyaschey tissue. Athletes - those who use such underwear always tend to give preference to this type.
What else should be taken into consideration when choosing underwear? Size - and it is very important. Underwear only works if it fits snugly to the body. If it is free - no good will, no matter what type it was. Underwear should be synthetic. Here the rule - the more natural the better - does not work. Natural fibers are unable to remove moisture and can not be woven in a honeycomb structure to create an air cushion.
There are manufacturers who are called "underwear" lingerie out of merino wool. This is excellent, very good thing, but it is not underwear. An ideal base layer, a fully synthetic. For it is absolutely normal to have a label: 95% polyamide, 5% - lycra. The more natural fibers - the less technologically advanced offered to you pants or sweatshirt. Word of synthetics should not scare you: synthetic fibers have long had nothing to do with the Soviet synthetics, which was considered to be unhealthy, not breathable material.
Recently have been producing underwear all who either falling. A few years ago, this was done only specialize in sportswear brands, underwear is now in the collections of completely unrelated to sports shops. Where once all the underwear was in a more or less the same price category, but now there are many cheaper options: termofufayka have not specialized in the manufacturer sportodezhde can cost 500 rubles, or 700 against the average of 1200-1800 rubles a sports store.
And, fortunately, among the five hundred-semisotrublevyh options are quite good. But still, how to distinguish the good from the worthless underwear and poor? At the proper thermal underwear is always flat seams, as it must in all areas, including in areas of welds, fit perfectly. Good termotkan if it is stretched, does not stay like this and returns to its original position immediately. Underwear should be easy. Look at the fabric on clearance: if a regular structure is clearly visible when we see that the thread creates surround pattern - linen probably good quality.
But there's much more fun ways to warm, what to wear underwear. For example, recent popular among manufacturers now equip the idea of ??clothes electrically. Jackets, shoes and even gloves - all heated. The latest innovation in this area - self-heating shoes. They released only recently brand Columbia. They built a lithium-polymer battery and carbon heating element. Include heating can be a button located on the ankle boot. The design is able to heat the shoe on the responses, for 3-4 hours. Recharging is accomplished by connecting an outlet shoe!
Meat is harmful low-carbon diet
Low-carb diet that provides the fat and protein from vegetables rather than meat healthier. Such a conclusion was made by staff at the Harvard School of Health in Boston (USA). Over more than two decades, they compared the two types of diets. The observation was made for 85 168 women in the period from 1980 to 2006 and 44 548 men from 1986 to 2006.
The results showed that low-carbohydrate eating patterns, abundant plant foods reduces the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as reducing mortality from any cause in general.
In contrast, low-carbohydrate Atkins diet adhering to, based on the consumption of large amounts of animal products, putting themselves at serious risk. Thus, the probability of premature death, the usual supporters of the Atkins diet of both sexes increased by 23%, the risk of death from heart disease - by 14%, and cancer - by 28%. At the same ones who are fed on "ekovariantu" of this diet, the risk of premature death in general was down 20%, and the chances of death from cancer - by 23%.
According NealshDay News, in the course of several smaller studies have found that low-carbohydrate Atkins diet, resulting in some loss of weight, increases the risk of developing serious chronic diseases, including Type II diabetes and coronary heart disease.
