Winter is in full swing, but thankfully, that doesn’t mean you have to be cold. There are plenty of ways to stay cosy without cranking up the central heating. With a few smart choices, you can not only beat the cold but also lower your energy bills. Here are five handy tips to help you through the chilly months
1. Layer up for extra warmth
A thick jumper may feel nice, but multiple thin layers will do much more for your warmth. Each layer traps a little air, acting as insulation and helping to keep your body temperature steady. This is far more efficient than wearing one bulky jumper! Opt for breathable materials like wool or fleece to stay comfy all day long.
2. Warm drinks and healthy food for inner heat
It may sound simple, but a cup of tea or a bowl of soup can work wonders to warm you up. Especially spices like ginger and cinnamon not only give you a lovely warm feeling but also boost your circulation. You’ll not only feel warmer but more energised, too. Don’t forget a hearty breakfast, like porridge, to give you the energy to power through your day feeling warm and active.
3. Stay warm with movement
Movement is one of the quickest ways to warm up. Even a few minutes of walking around your house, some stretches, or light strength exercises can improve circulation and warm you up quickly. The best part? Put some music on and get moving with a quick workout in your living room – your body will warm itself up! Staying active is a great way to beat the chill without turning the thermostat up.
4. Prevent heat loss with the right humidity
Indoor drying in poorly ventilated rooms can cause mold and musty odors. Laundry Mode reduces this risk by continuously extracting moisture, helping your clothes stay fresh and your home free from dampness. It’s a great way to keep both your clothes and living space fresh!
5. Opt for a mini heater
Is the cold too much for your favourite chair or work area? A mini heater, such as the ones offered by Zone, could be just what you need! These portable, compact devices heat the space around you quickly, without needing to warm up the entire room. Plus, you can easily move them from room to room, ensuring you have warmth exactly where you need it.
With these five clever tips, you can get through winter comfortably without constantly adjusting the thermostat. Whether you’re layering up, sipping warm drinks, or using a mini heater, there’s always a way to beat the cold. Try out these tips and make this winter a warm and cosy one!
