– why it’s important to talk about this right now
It is important because the next winter will probably come when the world economy is still high. But we still need to keep warm, no matter the hardships to reduce medical costs and possible destruction caused by the cold weather, especially on health.
– some of the cheapest options (either free or don’t cost very much at all) – eg make sure you keep your feet warm, use wrist/hand warmers, drink warm drinks.
Use hot water bottles
A hot water bottle can be handy during winter. It is budget-friendly and can last almost all years, especially with proper care. Simply warm water and fill it, then have the bottle next to you; when sleeping or sitting, to keep warm.
Drink hot fluids or eat hot food
Most individuals prepare coffee or bone soup during winter to keep warm. Stimulants like hot coffee can also help slowly keep warm. If you dislike stimulants, decaffeinated options will still play the role of giving warmth. Eating hot foods is another method to up your body temperature as you fill in valuable nutrients. It is best if you choose more healthy options to avoid adding on calories.
Wear socks
Socks and other footwear like slippers can help regulate body temperature when moving around the house. Choose long bed socks or thick types to insulate your heat. Moreover, buy adjustable slippers for a proper and snug fit for your feet.
