If you are 65 or over, it is important to spend most of your time in a warm environment during the winter months. There are a number of things you can do to cope in cold weather.
Keep your main living room at around 18-21°C (65-70°F) and the rest of the house at least 16°C (61°F). If you can't heat all the rooms you use, heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before you go to sleep.
Make sure you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to, such as the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.
Regular hot drinks and eating at least one hot meal a day will help keep energy levels up during winter and keep your body warm.
Finally, make sure you get the seasonal flu jab. While not 100% guaranteed, it should reduce your vulnerability to infection...

Beyonce 'Anna Mae' Reference In 'Drunk In Love' Causes Controversy: Is Jay Z Mocking Domestic Violence? :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Beyonce's newest hit single, "Drunk in Love," is making people talk for all the wrong reasons. The sexually charged song, which features her husband Jay Z, is certainly more R-rated than her previous hits, but does it cross the line?</p>
<p>That is the question being asked, primarily due to Jay Z's rap verse, which references the violent relationship between Ike and Tina Turner. Ike was a musician who famously beat his wife Tina and was abusive to her throughout their relationship. A 1993 film was made about the saga, with the title of a Tina Turner hit, "What's Love Got to Do with It."</p></div></div></div>
