4 tips to prevent frostbite in winters

Frostbite is caused when your skin freezes due to exposure to frigid temperatures below 0°C. The areas most affected include fingertips, toes, earlobes, nose, cheeks and chin.

Here are some tips to prevent frostbite in winters.

Cover yourself with warm clothes

Cover yourself with warm clothes by wearing gloves, socks, a woollen cap and a scarf to provide warmth to your body parts.

Drink warm fluids

Drink warm fluids such as warm water, soup, coffee and tea, as they can provide comfort and relaxation from frostbite in winter. 

Opt for fleece outfits

Fleece outfits provide warmth in winters and keep you from falling sick. 

Keep moving

Staying in one place without moving your muscles for too long can lead to frostbite and stiff bones. Make sure to move your muscles to keep the blood circulating and prevent frostbite.
