Tips to Keep You Warm During the Winter
As temperatures drop across the country, many are struggling to keep warm. It is important to keep yourself warm in the winter, as you are more likely to catch flu or cold in winters. Cold weather can lead to other serious health problems such as strokes, heart attack and pneumonia as well.
Staying warm in the winter is easy when following these easy steps; you'll be able to enjoy your winter to the fullest:

Clothing:
Ø Wear multiple layers of clothes. Multiple layers of thin clothes are much more effective then a single layer of thick clothes. Multiple layers help keep your body heat insulated, and protect you from outside cold.
Ø Make sure that you cover the three vital heat leaking parts of your body: your head, your hands and your feet (yeah, grandma was right about that). Wear a warm woolen cap and socks. Never expose your hands. If you are going out, make sure you wear gloves, or at least keep your hands inside your jacket pockets.
Ø Clothes made of wool, cotton on fleeced synthetic fibers are the best insulators of heat. Make sure you choose your dress from these materials.


Food:
Ø It is very important that you eat food regularly. Healthy food provides you lots of heat.
Ø Drink lots of hot liquids throughout the day, and keep a thermos by your bed in the night. They help replenish the lost heat of your body.
Ø Avoid cold drinks as much as possible. Try to replace your soft drinks with hot drinks such as tea and coffee.


Internal Heating:
Ø Make sure your heater is working properly during the winter.
Ø The best setting for your thermostat is to keep it at 21 0C or 70 0F. Try to keep this constant temperature in your home.
Ø Keep your curtains open during the day so that sunlight can enter. Close your curtains by the evening so that heat can be retained inside. If your windows do not have curtains, make sure you cover the windows during the winter. Blinds really don't help much in insulation.
Ø Make sure there are no gaps around windows and doors. Get them sealed before the onset of winter.
Ø Try to insulate your home with cavity wall and loft insulation.


Body Movement:
Ø Keep your body moving. Movement helps generate heat and fight cold.
Ø Make sure you do not sit idle at one place for a long period of time.
Ø Keep doing your regular exercises. They not only provide strength to the body, but also generate heat to keep it warm.
Ø Try to spread your chores through the day, so that you have some activity throughout the day. Alternate between rest and activity.


Going Out:
Ø Try to avoid going out from home as much as possible.
Ø Stock up daily use items so as to prevent unnecessary visits to the grocery store.
Ø Make sure you dress properly. You should wear at least one inner thermal wear and an outer windbreaker.


All these are simple, yet effective techniques to keep you warm in the winters. Follow them wisely and you'll be easily able to beat the cold. Enjoy the winter!

In case you couldn't make it through the whole thing because either A) you glazed over at its profound inanity, or B) your eyes turned crimson with rage because of how aggressively insulting it was to your intelligence, here are some of the highlights:


-Keep your body moving. Movement helps generate heat and fight cold.

-Make sure you do not sit idle at one place for a long period of time.

(Thanks, Department of Redundancy Department!)


-Try to avoid going out from home as much as possible.

(Um, yes, it is generally colder outside than inside in the winter. Mostly.)


-It is very important that you eat food regularly.


They forgot to add "It is important to not reside in a temperate zone during the months of November through March." Or maybe "Remember to have been born as a mammal before the onset of winter. Mammals are warm-blooded, and therefore have greater resistance to the chill than cold-blooded organisms do."
