by keeping the draughts out and keeping the heat in.
Try not to stay sitting down for long stretches. Get up and move around a bit. Any kind of activity, from walking to the shops (as long as it's not very cold) to doing the vacuuming, gets your circulation going and makes you feel warmer.
During cold weather, regular hot meals and hot drinks will provide warmth and energy.
It is very important to keep warm in bed at night. A hot water bottle will warm up your bed, as will an electric blanket, although you must never use the two together as this can be dangerous.
Wearing the right clothing to bed is as important as wrapping up when you go outside - thermal underwear or pyjamas and bed socks will all help keep you warm right through the night.
A warm, milky drink before bed can also help and, if you sometimes wake during the night feeling cold, you could keep a flask of hot drink by your bedside too.
Try and make sure you have enough bedclothes.
Finally, however much you like the fresh air, in very cold weather it is advisable to keep your bedroom window closed.
Even if you don't feel like cooking, try to have at least one proper meal a day. Certain foods, such as potatoes, beans, bread, milk, eggs, meat and fish, are all good sources of protein, energy and vitamins which will help keep you healthy.
Eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables will also help. Contact the local council for details of the Meals on Wheels service in your area, which can provide hot meals.
It's also a good idea to keep stocked up on some basic foods so you don't need to go out to the shops on very cold days.
Wrapping up warmly, both indoors and out, is very important. Several layers of thin clothing, for example, a shirt or blouse, thin jersey and cardigan, will keep you warm by trapping air between them. Clothes made from wool, polyester or fleecy synthetic fibres are usually warmer. Thermal underwear can help beat the chill.
Warm, thick tights or long socks are a must, as well as a warm pair of slippers.
When sitting down, a shawl around the shoulders or a blanket over the knees will provide a lot of warmth.I always cold. How can I survive this winter? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Are you healthy? You might have poor blood circulation that can be fixed by going to a doctor. Other than that go work in a kitchen and then get an electric blanket.

I like to cuddle under a blanket while drinking something hot and watching a movie that is based on summer. or something that is in the beach, that shows where it is hot, makes me feel better and not so cold.
Bundle up and put on a scarf. Wear cashmere, they're really warm
I'm always too hot- maybe we could even things out if we got together...
layer clothing wear long johns and sweater! make sure u buy a insulated winter jacket. warm winter boots mittens hat scarf... make sure u keep ur head and feet warm... they have insulated socks they are extra thick i love mine. drink hot beverages...
im always cold too, in winter i wear 4 pieces (tops) and 2 pants and still feel cold, so idiscoverde that i have to eat things that give energy since i dont eat that much, and it worked (hot drink with a bar of choclate)
The best way to generate body heat is to keep your metabolism up. Wearing lots of clothes won't help you if you're body isn't producing any heat. Here are a few strategies:
1. Keep eating. As long as you're eating healthy and not getting fat, there's nothing wrong with a good meal.
2. Get excercise. I'm not talking about agressive body building or even aerobics. In fact, if you exercise too hard you'll sweat and get cold. Keep doing the workouts you already do, but in addition go for a nice, long walk once a day. Like maybe after dinner walk around your neighborhood and say Hi to the neighbors. If you have a dog, take it for a walk.
3. Drink caffeine. This isn't healthy, but it can actually work. One soda with each meal can do wonders.
4. Don't wear so many layers of clothes that you sweat. Like I said earlier, sweating will just make you cold. If you wear less clothes, your body will acclimate and make more heat.
under armour, wool socks, LL bean catalogue, North Face, Marmot
Just bundle up and drink hot beverages.
HAts.. you lose 90 percent of your body heat through your head.. also layer your clothes so that when your outside your warm but when you go in if you get to hot you can start taking some of the layers off. And get a space heater lol
You could be could be anemic, too thin or could be diabetic. Try taking lots of VITAMINS. It will restore iron in your body, you may have low iron in your blood. Maybe your blood isn't flowing correctly to keep you warm? You may need to see a doctor and your problem can easily be solved! Wear sweaters and dress in layers Eat warm-cooked food, and add more protein to your diet. This will help alot, visit smoothie king and try the protein smoothies. You may not be eating enough, so your body doesn't have enough fuel to keep your body warm.
hope i helped? good luck! stay warm (:
Lots of things you can do....but the best may be to increase your circulation through exercise. If you're walking...even if it's in the cold...you'll warm up and feel great afterwards.
Aside from that, buy an electrical blanket and turn it on 15 minutes prior to going to bed...keep it on low while you sleep. Buy some thermal socks and long underware. Put the long underware on under your jeans or other pants to keep in that body warmth.
Also...wear hats! Heat rises....so keep your head covered with some great hats during the winter to keep you warm.
Okay...and the obvious, yet non-practical answer would be to move south for the winter! :o)
Good luck!
insulate around your windows and doors, locate any air leaks and seal them, insulate attics and walls.
Start packing on the layers...Stay indoors...I'm in N.H., I feel your pain!!
Extra layers are great, but I'm concerned if you're constantly cold that you may need to go to your doctor to have your blood drawn to rule out anemia. In the meantime however, I find that space heaters work well, and that down blankets at night are great. :o) I always keep a blanket and sweatshirt in the trunk of my car just incase. Handwarmers are awesome too :o)
Also, warm drinks actually help by warming you from the inside out. They warm your stomach and raise your overall body temperature. :o)
a wooly jumper and socks a small heater.
Move your body, eat!!, put more clothes on, turn up the heat!,
drink some tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, curl up in front of the TV or with a good book, buy a fuzzy blanket, or an electric blanket, get a boyfriend or girlfriend, get a big hairy dog to sleep with, move to a house with a fireplace, take a hot shower or bath, put on socks, get a sweater, or you could move to Hawaii!
Wear thermal underwear and sit next to a fire!
do what I did
lived in NJ and moved to Las VEgas
happy and warm.
Wear more clothes. Stay inside in the heat. Use thick blankets. Eat hot and spicy food often - warms you up and keeps your blood going. Drink coffee or tea (in moderation.) Exercise regularly and eat a full, balanced diet - keeps you healthy, and makes sure you're continually cycling through energy.
heyy maybe u should check your iron level if it's low that can cause unusual coldness...
Eat more meat!
dress in layers, wear fleece or flannel, and most importantly--keep your feet toasty--it makes a difference trust me!!
Eat a lot of Bon Bons to make you fatter. At dinner, go to buffets all the time and load up. The extra weight will warm you up. My wife did it and that ***** is huge!!! But she no longer complains about it being too cold out now!
Wear some kind of cover on your head and your feet. Even socks and a nightcap to bed will help. It is good to keep your hands covered as well, but when you are working or in school that's kind of hard to do.
Come spend the winter here in TX... its 64 degrees in Dallas
if not buy a warm parka and drink some tazo wild sweet orange tea
enjoy!
Get a flu shot, wear heavy clothing when you go out and keep plenty of cold medicine handy.
might want to get checked for a thyroid imbalance.
wear clothes in layers
example: undershirt, shirt, sweater, jacket
an undershirt that fits closely makes a huge difference in keeping your heat in
wool is the warmest fabric
lightweight, thin long underwear tops and bottoms are available in a variety of fabrics.
