Tips for Staying Warm in the Winter

• Layer Up - Wearing extra layers of clothing is a smart way to stay warm. Base layers like thermal vests or long-sleeve tops are fairly inexpensive and work well to trap heat.
• Keep Drafts Out - Try to block areas in your home where heat can escape, including windows, doorways, and keyholes. Keep your curtains open during the day and draw them in at night.
• Be Smart with your Thermostat - Be selective about where you heat your home. Try to keep the room you spend the most time in, such as your living room, heated to a proper temperature. Likewise, turn the heat down in rooms you don't spend time in. 
• Wear Blankets - Winter is the perfect time to bundle up in a blanket. A heated or weighted blanket is even better.
• Make Warm Foods - Having regular hot foods such as soups, stews, and oatmeal keeps you warm inside and out.
• Get Moving - Staying active boosts your circulation and body temperature. Plus, you are less likely to develop a cold or flu with regular exercise.
