This article shares useful tips on how you can stay warm in the cold outdoors. Whether you are going outside for a walk, hanging out with your friends or doing outdoor activities, it’s important to know how to keep yourself warm and toasty. After all, nothing ruins a fun day like being cold and uncomfortable in the chilly weather. TIP ONE: LAYER UPThe rule of thumb when it comes to spending a day outside is to wear three layers of clothing. There should be an inner layer, a middle insulating layer, and finally, your top layer. Also make sure to invest in a hat and some handwarmers as well. There are some great options for affordable, effective and non-harmful handwarmers which do not use harmful chemicals. TIP TWO: MOVE AROUNDWhile you are outside enjoying your day, move frequently and continue pacing to keep yourself warm. When you feel an incoming cold, take a brisk walk to warm yourself up and keep the cold away. However, try not to do any vigorous exercise that will lead to sweating. Sweating will lead to trapped heat within your clothes and can make you uncomfortable! TIP THREE: STAY HYDRATEDIt should come as no surprise that dehydration becomes more likely when you are outside in dry and cold conditions. Bring some water with you to keep your body hydrated. Extra tip: sprinkle some sugar into your water for a quick burst of energy. By doing this, you will be able to enjoy a nice day outside whatever the weather is like. TIP FOUR: EAT MORE BEFOREHANDMake sure you eat sufficiently so that your body continues to stay nice and warmed up. After all, food is what fuels your body, and your body is what keeps you warm. Some good food options include food that are high in fat such as avocadoes. For a quick snack, bring bananas, chocolate and nuts. This way, you can enjoy a fun day and stay warm by staying full. These are some of the helpful tips we have for you to stay warm throughout the day. They are all equally important tips that will help you enjoy a great day outside in cold weather.

Why is it important to stay warm? Well, the answers to this question are quite obvious. Staying warm helps you to stay healthy and comfortable. For instance, have you ever forgotten to bring a jacket for that cold weather? Maybe later on during the day, you’d end up sneezing and know that the dreaded cold was coming. To help you prevent such mishaps and help you stay comfortable during the colder climates, especially winter, we will give you three easy to use and effective tips to stay warm. BE FASHION (AND HEAT) FORWARD Your choice of clothing and accessories can help you stay warm easily when you are enjoying your time outside of the house. Hats There’s an old wives tale that heat escapes from your ears. Whether that’s true or not, science does show us that there is a process called convection where heat from a warm object escapes when it comes into contact with a non-warm object. That’s why in cold weather, it is important to be appropriately dressed to make sure all that heat inside of you remains. One of the most vulnerable parts of your body is your head! Make sure you protect it by wearing a warm fuzzy hat! Clothing Ideally, you should have three layers of clothing to stay warm: an inner layer, a middle layer and an outer layer. In a future post, we will tell you more about what materials you should wear for each layer. For now, just know that in very cold climates, 3 layers are the way to go. Other accessories: Other accessories for you to wear include hand-warmers and scarves. These help protect vulnerable parts of your body from the cold so you can enjoy your day to the utmost! EASY CHANGES AT HOME Turn On Your Ceiling Fan Have you ever heard the saying, “heat rises?” Well, studies show that this saying is true! Push precious warm air back down into your room by turning on your ceiling fan at its lowest setting so you can stay nice and warm. Dress Up Your Windows When the cold winter comes, exchange your thin curtains for thicker ones. Heavier curtains made of wool or fleece make all the difference in heating up your home during winter. Layer Your Sheets Keep your fluffy thicker sheets as the bottom layer with the thinner ones on top to lock in all that precious heat. You’ll have a fantastic time napping and stay warm and toasty all through those tough winter nights! These are some of the tips that you can use to stay warm during those cold winter months. In the future, we’ll be introducing more posts about staying warm in the colder weather that can help you. Originally posted 2016-06-23 01:32:56. The post Easy Ways to Stay Warm appeared first on iHateTheCold. from http://www.ihatethecold.com/easy-ways-stay-warm/ from http://handwarmers1.blogspot.com/2017/08/easy-ways-to-stay-warm.html Have you at one time ever gone hunting in extremely cold weather? What I mean by ‘extremely cold’ is 200F or lower, not considering the wind chill. A lot of methods of combating the cold are available which are affordable but efficient. Below are a number I have utilized, to battle lowering temperatures and hunt the whole day with ease.
Positioning a section of cardboard underneath your feet is going to shut out the cold, avoiding it from penetrating through the sole of your boot. Experience has taught me that apparently, even boots thought to be great can take in 600F, which is going to allow in cold air. You can cut lengths of cardboard also and place them inside cracks and openings of a box. This is to prevent frozen air from coming in contact with you.
There are some hunters who are simply susceptitble to cold feet, despite their boots‘ insulation element. I am among those people and I believe an affordable pair of boot blankets is effective as a subtitute insulation, during hunts of ultimate cold. I wear them over my boots for hunting, put the heat packs in the center of the boots as well as blankets, obtaining warm tootsie throught the day.
In regard to heat packs, purchase numerous heat packs of mega-size, which are disposable, formulated for huge body sections. Position two around your middle to maintain warmth in your center and avoid your body losing heat.
Can you recall the way your mom would inform you that 80% of loss of heat occurs through the head? This valuable piece of motherly advice was meant to persuade you to dress in a hat during winter; currently, we are aware this is not the truth. However, this does not signify that we should not wear hats in cold climate while hunting. As I sit for hours, passing time as I wait for the appearance of a behemoth buck, I dress in two winter hats; one is created from fleece and the second one from wool. They are both effective in maintaining warmth on my noggin.
You should aim to keep your blood sugar from rising, which triggers cold in you. Therefore, invest in a lot of complex carbohydrates with food such as seeds, nuts, vegetables and fruits. Eat beans which contain a lot of proteins and unprocessed meats. Keep away from products such as bread, candy and crackers or anything which is rich in trans fats or saturated.
Drinking hot water the whole day is going to assist you to prevent dehydration (this make you become cold) and is going to hel you keep warm, from the interior outwards.

I am sure you miss that time, even though you felt like a stuffed goat when she loaded you with hundreds of winter clothes. But now that she is not close to you anymore, it is time for you to be self-dependent and take care of yourself. With the help of warm clothes, you can avoid catching a cold, shivering and falling ill during winter. If you hate cold, you have landed on the right page. I don’t say that I dislike winters, but when I am freezing, I surely curse the weather. In order to avoid the harshness of the season, it is necessary for you to stay as warm as possible. However, just because it is snowing outside doesn’t mean you can’t leave your door. There are times when you have to get out of the comfort environment and atmosphere of your house and go out. This is the time when you need to wrap yourself in such a way that you are warm. So what are the top five things that you need to wear in order to stay away from being frozen? 1. Gloves. How can you possibly live without wearing gloves on your hands? There are a lot of glove manufacturing companies; all you need to do is find one that manufactures high quality warm gloves for customers. The best thing is that you can buy woolen hand-knitted gloves as well. Go ahead – flaunt a unique style on the roads by wearing beautiful hand gloves! 2. Winter caps. You don’t have to wear monkey caps, which are quite embarrassing, but you can always wear head caps that look gorgeous and keep you warm. Even if you are playing basketball outside your house, make sure you cover your head with such a cap so that you are protected from the wind of the season. Remember what mommy always said about head caps? 3. Thermal soles. It is rightly said that you have to focus on keeping your feet warm. I think I keep mentioning this in all the posts. If you want to keep yourself warm, you have to find ways to keep your feet warm. No matter how cold your nose is, your warm feet can keep you healthy. There are thermal soles available for those who keep shivering during winters. 4. An overcoat. No matter how angry you are at someone in the house, DO NOT leave your door without your overcoat. You must know that your overcoat protects you from all the harshness you hate about winters. Protect yourself by wearing an overcoat and let the warmth spread. 5. Woolen scarf. Ever seen hand knitted woolen scarves? I love those. If you have a friend who makes such scarves, you can always request her to make one for you. If you know someone who sells such beauties, please know that they are worth investing money in. Plus, they keep you cozy and comfortable! Originally posted 2017-01-03 06:44:18.
