Great tips on how to keep your home warm when you don't have a heater.
- Eat enough fat! This will keep your thyroid and metabolism functioning properly, and you'll stay much warmer.
- Fill a large pot with water and let it simmer. The rising steam will keep your house amazingly warm.
- Take a hot shower or bath and use oil or lotion on your skin when you get out. It's almost like putting on another thin layer of clothing.
- Leave the warm water in the bathtub. It's like having a 25-40 gallon hot water bottle in your house.
- Put on a hat. A lot of body heat is lost from our heads.
- Turn on the lights. Incandescent and halogen bulbs create light through heat and can significantly increase temperatures in a room.
- Use a candle heater. It doesn't create as much heat as a fireplace or real heater, but will create warmth very cheaply.
- Take advantage of solar energy; place a dark rug in sunny areas of your house during the day to absorb the sun's heat.
- If can afford it, leave other heat-producing appliances on, such as computers/monitors or strong lamps.
