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...

Seattle Seahawks - Arizona Cardinals 2013: Prediction, Preview, And Vegas Odds For Sunday's Game :: <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>Few games in Week 16 have the playoff implications of the matchup between the <strong>Seattle Seahawks</strong> and <strong>Arizona Cardinals</strong>. One team is looking to secure home-field advantage, while the other is trying to earn a postseason berth.</p>
<p>The situation is direr for the visiting Cardinals, who are one game out of the wild card race. At 9-5, they trail the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers by one game. Since the two NFC South teams are set to play each other, a win for Arizona would keep them alive for at least one more week.</p></div></div></div>
