5 Ways To Keep Warm In Winter
By Janice Wee
The movie The Day After Tomorrow. Where everyone
was facing an ice age ahead, with temperatures
so cold your blood could freeze instantly.
The main characters in the story were hiding
in a library. Wise move. You wouldn't run
out of things to burn in a library that is
full of books. In their effort to stay warm,
they kept their fireplace ablaze by burning
library books, feeding the fire continually
for that much needed warmth.
A homeless guy who had to survive winter
in the streets crushed up paper and stuffed
his clothes with them for insulation. One
of the key ways to stay warm in winter is
to insulate your clothing. That way, you keep
the warmth in and the cold out. Crushing the
paper trapped air. Air is a great insulator
of heat. So that made a lot of sense.
Here are 5 tips to help you fight
the cold.
#1 Generate heat.
To generate heat, most modern homes have
a proper heating system. Just make sure
you pay your heating bills. If you can't
pay the bills, get your bills paid on
your behalf. For example, if you are a
U.S. resident, you can get free heating

If you use an old fashion log fireplace,
stock up on plenty of firewood in case
you get snowed in.
#2 Layer your clothing
Wear layers of clothing to keep warm.
Start off with a base layer. The thermal
underwear which you can find at http://www.buy-underwear.net/thermal-underwear.htm
. Ideally, your thermal underwear should
fit like second skin. The goal is to keep
your body heat in. Pure cotton thermal
underwear would probably work if the temperature
is above 5 degrees celsius. Colder than
that and you need something much warmer.
Like merino wool. You'll find warm merino
socks and other clothes that contain merino
wool at http://www.buyclothing.net/merino-wool.htm
. Try a base layer that is suitable for
snow sports, like the Duofold Insulayer
thermal underwear you'll find at http://www.buy-underwear.net/Duofold-Insulayer.htm
which has 2 layers of fabric that trap
air between the layers, for added insulation.
On top of the thermal underwear, you
might want to wear a wool sweater and
thick denim jeans or wool pants. You can
find denim jeans at http://www.buy-pants.com/jeans/
. You might want to add on a warm jacket
or even a trenchcoat over the sweater.
These warm fleece sweatshirts found at

feel divine. If you want a good looking
wool coat, check out the belted wool coats

. Depending on the severity of cold you
might face, you might want to add more
layers. Don't forget your gloves , scarve,woolen
hat, ear muffs and boots. If it is really
very cold, you might even need a ski mask.
#3 Drink warming liquids
Drinking a cup of ginger tea helps you
body fight the cold too. Drinking plenty
of hot soup at meals warms up the body
beautifully.
#4 Bring a warm shawl
Carry along a cashmere throw, or at least
a wool wrap with you so you can wrap that
around you when you need additional warmth.
Here is where you can find cashmere throws
and cashmere clothing. http://www.buyclothing.net/cashmere.htm
#5 Keep one another warm
Finally, huddle up close to a loved warm
so you can keep each other warm. That's
how our ancestors survived the cold winters
when they lived in caves. They would huddle
close together near the fire to keep warm.
