Winter can truly be considered the most wonderful time of the year. However, all her charm disappears at the mere thought that one can freeze. Fortunately, there are many ways to stay warm even in very cold weather, and this article will show you how to do it while enjoying all the joys that winter brings us.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: How to Warm Yourself

1. 1 Dress warmly. Warm clothing, especially in several layers, will not only protect you from hypothermia, but also help keep your body warm.
   • Wear a warm hat and warm socks. We lose most of the heat through our legs and head.
   • Wear multiple layers of clothing. The underwear is thin and will easily match most daily wear, including jeans and shirts. For extra warmth, wear a fleece or wool sweater.
2. 2 Curl up comfortably under the covers.
   • Keep blankets handy to wrap up in when you read or watch TV, and bring extra blankets to sleep in.
3. 3 Use hot water bottles. Water can keep warm for extended periods of time, making hot water bottles an affordable and efficient heating method. You can warm yourself like this while sitting at the table or while watching TV, and in bed under the covers, such a bottle will keep you warm all night.
4. 4 Eat warm food and drinks. Delicious winter soups and hot cocoa are among the attractions of the season. Hot tea and coffee and nutritious foods like pizza, meat and toast will also help keep your body warm.
5. 5 Take a hot bath. This is a good way to relax your muscles, especially after a hard day, and get warm quickly. If you really want to relax, add some candles and soothing music to the setting. In the end, don't forget to dry yourself thoroughly.
6. 6 Use your body heat.
   • Find yourself a cozy place where you can wrap yourself in a warm 100% wool blanket, and slowly but surely your body heat will immediately start to warm you!
   • Get up and start moving! The active body warms up quickly - run, dance, jump until you sweat. You can jump, work out on a stationary bike or dance to your favorite music for a few minutes. If you agree to freeze a little at first, go for a walk around the area, in the process of walking you will quickly warm up.
   • Use other people's body heat: Big holiday parties will quickly warm up the home thanks to the warmth generated by the large number of guests. Cuddling works too, so snuggle up to your loved one. Don't you have a soul mate? Perhaps you will meet someone at that very festive party!

Method 2 of 3: How to keep your home warm

1. 1 Insulate the house.
   • Seal up any areas in the house that may come through.
   • Double-glazed windows will help prevent the cold from entering through the windows.
   • Check the integrity and tightness of the sealing rubber on the doors, so that cold air does not blow through it.
   • If you have a fireplace, keep the chimney closed. Cold air can enter through the chimney.
   • Make a fire. A flame from a fireplace or fire will add warmth and comfort. If building a fire, make sure the chimney is open so that smoke can escape through the chimney.
   • Candles also generate heat, but are more flammable. Therefore, use them more for lighting than for heating.

Method 3 of 3: Keeping warm outside

1. 1 Wear suitable winter clothing.
   • Look for down or wool outerwear. If it snows or rains, wear waterproof clothing to avoid getting wet.
2. 2Wear warm or woolen socks and waterproof shoes.
3. 3 Cover exposed areas of your body.
   • Wear gloves or mittens.
   • Wrap a scarf around your neck.
4. 4 Wear a hat. It should be remembered that we lose most of the heat through the head, arms and legs.

Tips

• If you are cooking in the oven, keep the oven door slightly ajar. The heat from the oven will heat the kitchen.
• There are many great ways to make hot cocoa. You can add mint, vanilla, marshmallows, or whipped cream. Look for interesting recipes.
• Place a hot water bottle in bed an hour before bed. When you go to bed, the bed will be pleasant and warm.
• These tips were written for winter, but you can also use them at any time of the year and in any situation when you are cold.
• If you don't have a real fireplace, buy a portable electric fireplace that will keep you warm and inexpensive.

Warnings

• Be careful with hot food and drinks to avoid scalding yourself.
• Never drink alcohol to keep warm. Although it will make you feel warmer, it will actually lower your body temperature, which can lead to hypothermia and even death.
• Candles are one of the most common causes of home fires. They should be installed on non-flammable stands. Remember to extinguish all candles before going to bed.
• Candles and fires in the fireplace burn oxygen, and in winter, with closed doors and windows, it can be used up very quickly. To avoid smoke, make sure the chimney is open and provide fresh air by opening the window slightly.
