Put on your hat or you will catch a cold!

The cold is more and more troubling our foreheads and ears. Especially if we have nothing on our minds. Every mother repeats: "Put on your hat because you will catch a cold!" She's right. Although the myth is that we lose the most heat through the head. This misconception is based on research conducted in the 1950s, which consisted of sending American soldiers to the North Pole. And the statement "heat escaping through the head!" was the result of research results. Although the soldiers lost the most heat through their heads, it was because they had no hats. The rest of the body was properly dressed. The truth is, we lose heat equally on the entire body surface. The scalp is simply more sensitive to temperature fluctuations. That is why we feel cold more in frost. Therefore, it is worth wearing a hat to protect your head from frost.

Where does this hat come from?

In vocabulary, a hat is a headgear that is usually made of a soft material. Sometimes it has hard inserts in the form of a bottom or visor. Caps are usually worn by people, although not necessarily these days. Dogs can also wear hats! The main task of the hat is protection against adverse weather conditions. In Poland, hats have been made since the 14th century.
