3 years without turning on the heating: she shares her tips for staying warm in winter without breaking the bank

Tips for staying warm without overheating

1. Maximize the insulation of your home

Drafts are your worst enemy. Use draught excluders, seal windows with self-adhesive seals, and install thermal curtains. These small, easy-to-implement improvements can significantly reduce heat loss.

2. Dress like a pro for the extreme cold

Wear layers of clothing, opting for wool or fleece, and add warm slippers to keep your feet insulated. A thermal blanket is also a valuable ally for cozy evenings.

3. Move to maintain body heat

Even light physical activity can warm up your body. A few simple exercises or a brisk walk can make all the difference. Tip: Do some gentle stretching or yoga near your couch!

4. Eat warm and nourishing food

Prepare rich, comforting dishes, such as homemade soups, gratins, or stews. These foods help your body better cope with the cold. Don’t forget hot drinks, such as tea, hot chocolate, or herbal teas, for instant comfort.

5. Optimize your occasional heating

If possible, concentrate heating in a single room and limit its use to a few hours per day. Use devices like space heaters (ideally ceramic or low-energy) to efficiently heat a small space.

A realistic alternative for an economical winter

Implementing these tips doesn’t mean sacrificing your well-being. Rather, it’s about rethinking your habits to find a balance between comfort and savings. Whether you’re forced to limit your heating or simply want to reduce your energy costs, these solutions can truly transform your winter routine.

So, are you ready to face winter with creativity and serenity?
