Top Tips to keep warm this winter.
With the current cold snap, here are our Top Tips to keep warm and cosy.
- Wear several thin layers, rather than one thick layer. Layers trap warm air close to the body, helping to insulate the heat. Cotton, wool or thermal clothes are ideal.
- A lot of heat is lost through the head and neck, so if you’re chilly indoors, try wearing a hat or scarf.
- Eat at least one hot meal a day – eating regularly helps keep you warm. Make sure you have regular hot drinks too.
- If you’re sitting down, a shawl or blanket will provide extra warmth. You should also try to keep your feet up, because air is cooler at ground level.
- Try not to sit still for more than an hour or so indoors – get up and stretch your legs.
- Stay active – even moderate exercise and stretching can help keep you warm.
- For cold feet, wear thick socks and preferably cosy slippers with a good grip too.
- Wear warm clothes in bed and wear non-slip bed socks.
- Don’t stand outside for long periods of time, as you can quickly get a chill.
- If you have a heart or respiratory problem, stay indoors during very cold weather.
