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...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Lakers Trade News: Will Pau Gasol Be Traded Before The Deadline? :: <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>At his point in his career, there isn't a trade rumor that can faze Pau Gasol.</p>
<p>The 12-year Los Angeles Laker power forward and his expiring $19.3 million contract have been linked to plenty of trade speculation this season, but it's nothing new to Gasol. Since the Lakers acquired him from Memphis in 2007-08 season, the Spaniard's been tabbed for moves to Toronto, Chicago, New York, and more. He technically was even traded to the Houston Rockets back in 2011 in a three-way deal that would've netted L.A. point guard Chris Paul.</p></div></div></div>
