Feeling so cold: what to do?

As the colder weather continues with snows in some parts of the Northeast and Midwest, cold temperatures can be associated with health risks, especially if a person has prolonged exposure to the cold weather. Forecasts also say that feeling of the cold breeze seems like winterlike weather.

Here are some essential tips for dealing with cold weather, especially if you move to areas with forecasted colder temperatures.

Wear layers of clothes

The chilling air breeze could alleviate the heat in previous warm temperatures. During winter and this coming cold weather forecast, wearing layers of clothes covering your whole body helps to warm you and prevent the risk of hypothermia or frostbite. You should wear layers of socks, gloves, scarves and a hat.

Maintain home temperature

Your house must adjust the temperature to the warm environment so that you would freeze from the cold weather, making sure that the heating system works.

Being active and eating warm food

Exercising or being active warms your body and may help alleviate the cold temperature. Also, it is best to eat warm food, including soups, and porridge, which would be helpful.

Seek medical assistance

Seek medical assistance if any family members suffer from hypothermia, frostbite, or difficulty or with prolonged exposure to cold temperature.
