This winter, gear up for the high costs of home heating. Instead of cranking up the thermostat, save energy with some quick solutions to staying warm!!!
- 30 second intervals of jumping jacks help increase blood flow, improves cardiovascular capacity, burns calories and raises body temperature
- Spice up your recipes this winter with ginger, garlic, cinnamon, turmeric and cloves. These spices keep your body warm and boost your immune system!
- An Epson salt bath is a simple and inexpensive way to warm up, cleanse, reduce stress and prevent muscle and joint soreness
- Organic light wool clothing, layer, layer, layer!!!
Another way to save on heating costs is by going green with your furnace. If your furnace is over 10 years old, it’s likely a low-efficiency model, averaging between 60 and 70 per cent AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). In other words, it’s only producing around 60 to 70 cents worth of heat for every dollar your spend! By choosing a more energy efficient model, you’ll get more heat for your dollar.
