Winter is coming. It's now that time of year to don comfy sweaters and
thick socks, and warm up your homes to shelter you from the cold. Here are a few
tips on bundling up for warmth during the cold months:
1. Keep your home warm. Having a good HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning) system that is
durable and energy-saving allows you to easily adjust and regulate room
temperatures inside your home to your liking.
2.
Layers, layers, layers. Big, thick sweaters are nice, but you can also warm up better by wearing
thin items of clothing in multiple layers to trap body heat. The more your skin
is exposed, the colder you'll feel, so wearing a scarf and earmuffs can also
add to the warmth.
3. Grab a hot drink, like coffee or tea. Decaffeinated drinks are better at keeping you
warm, however, because caffeine makes the body lose heat despite the fact that
the skin feels warmer. A nice, full meal, preferably with a bowl of soup, can
also warm you right up.
4.
Exercise. Exercising can get the blood flowing, which then leads to the warming up
of the skin. Even just simple physical activities like jogging in place can do
wonders in keeping the cold away.
5. Snuggle up. Seal and insulate doors and windows to keep drafts from entering the
house, then snuggle up in bed underneath a pile of warm blankets and share body
heat with family members and loved ones.
