Tips

• Check over your home for any damage and ensure you’re investing in the updates to your interior space that are needed to prevent issues arising, such as old electrics failing or frozen pipes.
• Check your exterior and interior window and door frames for any cracks or gaps to prevent moisture and damp issues.
• Ensure that there is adequate sealant around your windows and keep the indoors warm and dry.
• Invest in proper insulation and add cozy items like large rugs, blankets, cushions, and throws to keep the space warm.
• Let fresh air in a little on dry days to prevent damp buildup from lack of ventilation.
• Eat fresh, seasonal produce to help create delicious, healthy, and hearty meals that will fill and warm you up.
• Use ingredients like basil and honey with hot lemon to help fight off winter bugs and stuffy noses.
• Cook large pots of stew, soup, or casserole and freeze portions for convenient, wholesome meals.
• Include steamed green veg with stews and don't be fearful of carbohydrates like wholemeal bread or roasted potatoes if staying active.
• Make a warm bowl of oats with apple compote or berries for breakfast instead of sugary cereals.
• Limit sugary spiced lattes to avoid sugar crashes.
