Te trage curentul sau nu? Mihail Pautov explică de ce celebra vorbă a românilor are un sâmbure de adevăr

The Romanian belief that drafts cause illness is explored by Dr. Mihail Pautov, who explains that while drafts don't create infections, they can exacerbate existing conditions. Cold air can lead to temporary physiological changes, such as vasoconstriction, which may lower immunity and allow pre-existing issues to worsen. This aligns with the idea that while cold air doesn't introduce viruses, it can influence the body's defenses. The article also discusses how exposure to cold can lead to muscle tension and discomfort. Ultimately, the saying 'the draft got me' reflects a mix of truth and myth regarding health.
