Why you should always keep the temperature of the air conditioner at 24-25

To cope with the humid and hot weather, many of us like to sit right in front of the air conditioner. Similarly, in winter, there seems to be nothing better than a fan.

But does exposure to such extreme temperatures in any way affect human health?

Experts suggest that extreme temperatures can have a detrimental impact on health. It is advised to keep the AC temperature at 24-25 degrees Celsius as it is considered more optimal for healthy body functions.

 Talking about the harmful effects of extremely low temperature, he said, "AC thermostats set at temperatures too low compared to our body temperature can cause increased skin damage due to low humidity inside the rooms." Consequently, he added, "Skin tissue produces excess body fat to compensate for reduced sweat production, which, eventually, can cause skin blemishes, acne, premature wrinkles and skin irritation."

He also added that the extremely high temperature can lead to "excessive production of sweat, closed pores to attract moisture and thus lead to an imbalance in the functioning of the skin".

Other harmful effects include "impeding our body's thermal regulation" and "spreading viral germs in cold, dry air." Extreme temperatures can also trigger asthma or migraine episodes, he added. 

Informing about the long-term effects, he said it can lead to premature aging, excessive hair loss, skin disorders and allergies. "Dry throat, rhinitis and nasal congestion" are some of the other long-term effects.
