One of the biggest mistakes people make when using air conditioning is lack of ventilation. The air conditioner does not supply fresh air to the room, which means that oxygen quickly runs out. It is recommended to open the windows and ventilate the room every 2 to 3 hours. This will ensure that the air in the room is always fresh and rich in oxygen, which will help prevent headaches.
2. Air humidity
Air conditioners are known to dry out the air, which can lead to dehydration of the body. As a result, you may experience fatigue, dry eyes and sinus problems. To avoid this, it is important to drink enough water and use humidifiers.

3. Correct temperature setting
The large temperature difference between outside and inside can cause circulation problems and muscle cramps. Therefore, it is recommended to set the climate temperature to about 25 degrees Celsius. It is also a good idea to turn off the air conditioner before leaving an air-conditioned room and wait a few minutes for your body to adjust to the outside temperature.
4. Direct exposure to the air conditioner

Regular maintenance of the air conditioner is key to its efficient and healthy functioning. The air conditioner filter needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly, as it collects dust, bacteria and mold that can cause health problems.
In addition, the use of natural moisturizers, such as potted plants, improves the air quality in the room and contributes to better well-being.
