how to protect your body with the return of cold in France

The cold is back in France. It has an impact on our health. This is why we must protect our skin according to journalist and doctor Damien Mascret, present on the set of 13 Heures, Friday November 24. “[La peau] is a real shell that protects us. And unfortunately in winter, the cold attacks the skin, dries it out and can even cause frostbite if you stay in the cold.”, he explains. According to him, “below 18° some begin to feel the bite of the cold”. However, the doctor recalls that “it is below 12° that we become less skilled because the nerve impulses between the brain and the muscles are slowed down”.

Eat well

To protect yourself, you must “keep a discreet layer of fat, called sebum, on the surface of the skin”, indicates Damien Mascret. Furthermore, it is obviously necessary “cover well” with “gloves and a hat”. Finally, “you need a diet rich in iron, vitamins, amino acids and omega 3. That means proteins, fatty fish, eggs, nuts, walnut oil, rapeseed oil”.
