Instead of turning up the heat, put on another layer of clothing.<\/li>\n<li>Wear a hat &#8211; Your mom may have said that you lose 80 per cent of your body heat through your head, but that&#8217;s not actually true.\u00a0If you&#8217;re otherwise clothed, you&#8217;ll lose heat from any surface that&#8217;s exposed. So put on your hat, even if you&#8217;re inside.<\/li>\n<li>Switch between hot and cold water in the shower &#8211; Hot showers immediately warm you up, but cold showers improve blood circulation between your skin and organs, they are also\u00a0correlated with a stronger immune system.<\/li>\n<li>Block drafts with a pool noodle &#8211; Keep heat in and cold out by cutting a pool noodle in half lengthwise, wrapping it in fabric, and sliding it under your door. It&#8217;ll stay put all winter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='9c90803451be780ce43f0f5b93282c58'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Cut-off low pressure system is expected to sweep through the province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":557,"featured_media":92358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[508,7,2],"tags":[3641,8297,1012,1003,1106,979,969,2730,4957,3642],"class_list":["post-92619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-local-news","category-news-headlines","tag-cold-front","tag-community-2","tag-east-rand","tag-ekurhuleni","tag-gcn","tag-germiston","tag-germiston-city-news","tag-leigh-hodgson","tag-south-african-weather-service","tag-weather"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"News","SubCategory":"Local news"},"tag_labels":["cold front","community","East Rand","Ekurhuleni","GCN","germiston","germiston city news","Leigh Hodgson","South African Weather Service","weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/557"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
