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...

Emmanuel Adebayor had continued his recent fine vein of form by opening the scoring late in the first half, before Christian Eriksen capitalized on some poor defending from the home side to double Spurs' advantage midway through the second period. United responded almost immediately though Danny Welbeck, but despite finally supplying some concerted pressure late on they couldn't find an equalizer.</p></div></div></div>
