Why drinking water keeps you warmer - seven cheap tips for keeping the cold at bay at home
Temperatures are set to plunge below zero as cold arctic air moves across the UK this week. As the cold snap sets in, there are a number of cheap ways you can keep warm in your homes.
Something as simple as drinking lots of water can help in this weather. Dr Jay Verma, a GP working with care tech company Oysta, said: "Keeping hydrated is important in helping the body maintain its core functions, including maintaining body temperature."It's also very important for the good functioning of our kidneys. Water is transported in the blood to our vital organs and not having enough water in itself can lead to a low body temperature.
Another way to warm up is to get moving. You might not be able to face going outside for a run or to head to the gym, but even a quick workout in your living room will help. And when it comes to dressing for cold weather, rather than throwing on bulky jumpers to stay warm, you might be better off wearing multiple thinner layers. Not only are they easy to add and remove as you go in and out, but warm air gets trapped between the layers - acting as insulation.
