The body should always be kept at a uniform temperature,
and to do this, the appropriate clothes should be worn. On a hot
day, clothes keep out the heat, whereas on a cold day, they
keep the heat in and the cold out, making us feel warm and
cozy. The clothing should be equally heavy on all parts of the
body. If a child wears a thick dress, but the shoulders and arms
are left almost bare, then some parts of the body become cold
while the rest of the body is warm, and this may result in the
child catching a cold
In cold weather, the same amount of clothing should not be
worn in the house and outdoors. If you wear your overcoat in
the house, you will become overwarm and your underclothing
will then become damp with perspiration, when you go outdoors
into the cold air, this dampness will affect you the same way as
the dampness that comes from the cold air outside.
People sometimes get warm from exercising, and then take
off their coats. If you take off your coat after you are too warm,
your body becomes chilled. Baseball pitchers know this, and if
you watch a good pitcher, you will see that he always puts on
his sweater as soon as he stops pitching, even though he is
very warm. He knows that if he cools off too quickly, he will
become stiff and sore and he won't be able to pitch a good ball
and that proper clothing is important
