1. Dress according to the weather, not the calendar.
It is important to choose the right shoes. Think about neck protection. It’s good to be able to hide your hands in your pockets. From this side, modern sweatshirts are useful - bike, with a hood and ... comfortable pockets for hands. Do not forget the umbrella.

Have you breathed in cold air or drank something cold? Do not delay for the future, drink hot tea (or just boiled hot water, where you can also add a spoonful of honey or jam).
Periodically during the day, go to the washbasin and warm your hands under the tap to saturation with heat, be sure to wipe them then dry (in the toilet room; including you can go to the nearest cafe). At home, you can warm up in the shower and / or warm your feet.
3. High-calorie nutrition throughout the day.
The source of energy is food. In cool weather, well-prepared moderately fatty meats with cereals and pasta will help, it is important to use broths, soups and borsch. Even if not a lot. Regularity throughout the day is important. Of course, do not forget about vegetables and fruits.
4. Get enough sleep.
Fall asleep on time. Allow the body to recover more and more fully. The first hours of sleep until 24.00 are the best. This means that the optimum time for falling asleep is 22.00.
Lie down twice during the day for 15-20 minutes (always horizontally). Try not to think about anything at this time.
5. Protect yourself from wind and drafts.
It is very important. Not only clothes will help here, but also a better position. On the street, shield yourself from the wind, becoming obstacles to the wind. Do not get into transport in places where there are drafts (or feel free to cover your head and neck with a hood, scarf, etc.).
Remember that you must not be in a room with the air conditioner turned on.
