If you guessed layers, you\u2019re correct! When temperatures drop, it\u2019s important to bundle up to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/frostbite\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20372656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protect yourself from the cold<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Improper dressing in the winter can cause frostbite and leave you vulnerable to illness. Outdoor activity is important for your health and well-being, so don\u2019t give it up this winter; instead get prepared by dressing properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Base Layer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying dry starts from the inside out. Starting with a waterproof base sets you up for success on those icy days. In order to be warm this winter, select a fabric with the best benefits. Avoid cotton, which absorbs moisture, making you colder over time. Instead, pick a fabric that wicks moisture or is synthetic. This will keep your skin dry, and the snow out. Most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/p\/the-5-best-moisture-wicking-t-shirts-8548294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exercise shirts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have this quality, as well as many comfortable t-shirts. Starting at the base layer also means choosing undergarments that will keep you warm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mid Layer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your base layer is water resistant, you can focus the mid layer on being cozy. If you\u2019re the kind of person who normally tosses on a coat and leaves, you might be setting yourself up for a chilly winter. This middle layer will insulate using the heat that your body naturally radiates. Thicker and puffier is usually the best rule. Throw a sweater or hoodie on top of your base for maximum comfort. Jackets and vests can also survive as a fashionable option for insulating your middle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Outer Layer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we\u2019re at the coat. Coats allow moisture to escape but keep out water and wind. Thanks coat! When choosing a coat for winter, consider down-insulated and waterproof options. Coats do not have to be expensive, but it is worth spending the money on a coat to last you all season. An outer layer doesn\u2019t have to be limited to a coat. If you or your little ones are going to be outside playing in the snow, add waterproof snow pants or overalls for the best snow repellant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Head, Hands, and Feet<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old adage\u2014that you lose half of your body heat through your head\u2014isn\u2019t technically true. In fact, any uncovered skin is an avenue for heat loss. So cover your extremities\u2014head, hands, and feet\u2014during the winter. While beanies may be the most stylish choice, the best hats cover your ears. Or avoid hat hair entirely by choosing earmuffs instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hands and feet are the most susceptible to frostbite. In cold weather, don\u2019t leave home without mittens or gloves. And keep those toes cozy with thick wool socks and properly fitting shoes or boots. If you\u2019re going to be snow skiing or snowboarding this season, invest in a pair of snow boots. If snow boots aren\u2019t in the cards this year, consider rainboots as a fix to repel moisture and keep your toes dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re feeling like a marshmallow, you\u2019re probably doing it right. Making your body cozy during the winter months prevents frostbite, and helps you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hancockhealth.org\/fr\/2017\/10\/get-outside-improve-mood-winter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stay active<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to stave off illness and seasonal blues.
