Warm up!

[Texasmujer]

** Get a Healthy Start In the winter, our metabolism slows down---making us more susceptible to cold. But giving the body the fuel it needs---starting with a breakfast rich in carbohydrates like oatmeal or cream of wheat---helps keep our internal furnace stoked!

**Add a dash of pepper Seasoning your food with black pepper causes a mild flushing sensation, particularly in your upper body, giving you an instant burst of warmth!


**Stay Hydrated We feel less thirsty when it's cold, which can lead to dehydration, causing a chilled-to- the-bone feeling. Be sure to drink plenty of water---it's your body's best defense afainst the cold!


**Warm your tootsies If your cold, try rubbing your feet with warm massage oil or lotion before slipping on a comfy pair of socks. You'll be warm all over in no time!
