Did you know that prolonged Air Conditioner (AC) usage can have serious health implications? Here's what you need to know:

Reduce Your AC Usage

ACs remove moisture from the air, leading to dryness of the skin and eyes. It's essential to stay hydrated when in AC environments.

Dryness of Eyes and Skin

Extended exposure to AC can contribute to dehydration. It's crucial to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while using AC.

Risk of Dehydration

Exposure to cold air from ACs can cause muscles to tighten, resulting in stiffness and discomfort.

Muscle Stiffness

Continuous exposure to AC may increase sensitivity to temperature fluctuations.

Heightened Sensitivity to Temperature Changes

Using AC during the night might disrupt sleep patterns for some people, especially window units.

Potential Impact on Sleep Quality

Long-term exposure to AC can elevate the risk of contracting illnesses such as colds and flu. Ensuring adequate ventilation is important.

Increased Susceptibility to Infections

Improperly maintained AC systems can harbor bacteria, mold, and other contaminants, potentially leading to headaches and dizziness.
