In the dark, dank days of January, it’s vital that we keep ourselves warm. For older people particularly, cold weather can lead to health problems such as chest infections, heart attacks and strokes.

The Government recommends that we keep our main living room between 18 and 21°C, and the rest of the house at a minimum of 16°C. You may be eligible for Winter Fuel Payments of up to £400 if you were born on or before 5 July 1950 – call 08459 151515 for details. Also, the Warm Front Scheme (0800 316 2805) off ers grants for heating and insulation improvements.
Make sure you wrap up warm when you’re indoors and out, at daytime and night. Several thinner layers are more eff ective at trapping heat than one thick layer. Thermal underwear is a great investment, and a hat, scarf and gloves will stop you losing body heat.
There’s nothing worse than being cold in bed, so use an electric blanket or hot water bottle before you get in, and wear bed socks.
Eat plenty of warming stews and soups, and have regular hot drinks. Spices such as chilli, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and ginger will warm you up from the inside!
It is also important to keep active – try to move around at least once an hour.
