Wear warm clothing
- Layer Up: To retain heat, wear several layers of clothes. A moisture-wicking base layer should be applied first, followed by an insulating layer and a waterproof upper layer.
- Cover Extremities: Cover your head, hands, and neck with scarves, caps, and gloves. To keep your feet dry and toasty, put on waterproof boots and thick socks.
Maintain the Warmth of Your House
- Use Heaters: Make use of heaters to keep your house warm. A pleasant temperature should be set on the thermostat.
- Insulate Doors and Windows: To stop cold drafts, use insulation and weather stripping. To retain the warmth, draw the curtains.
- Use Hot Water Bottles: To add extra warmth when sitting or in bed, fill hot water bottles.
Stay Active
- Exercise Indoors: To keep your body warm, stay active. Simple yoga or stretching techniques might be beneficial.

Be Prepared
