HOW TO KEEP WARM ON COLD DAYS

It's important to stay active, whatever the season.  And it's essential to maintain an adequate body temperature during winter outdoor activities . . . including snow shoveling!  Here are a few tips to keep you warm when you venture out:

~ Cover your head and don't forget neck and ears.  Keep your ears warm with a cap, earplugs, or ear warmers.

~ Get some tight, waterproof gloves so ice and water can't seep in to chill you.  Also, make sure the gloves have a good grip, so you don't have to take them off to do things outside.  If it's really cold, you can put some mittens on over your gloves or a liner in them.

~ Dress in layers.  Cotton and silk are good at absorbing moisture so you won't get chilled if you work up a sweat.  You might start with a layer or two of long underwear, topped with sweaters, fleece pants and jackets, plus a wind/waterproof shell.  Layers should be loose enough to leave room for air so you lock in heat.
