我们让BuzzFeed社区的用户告诉我们，他们是用什么方法来避免自己在冬天被冻坏的。以下是一些他们认为确实能帮助你取暖的技巧。

1. Leave your electric blanket on the lowest setting while you sleep.

在睡觉的时候把电热毯开到最低档。

"Get a heating blanket, put it under your sheets, and turn it on about 15 minutes before you go to bed. You can leave it on the lowest setting all night. Then put your clothes under your blankets while it's still on in the morning so they aren't cold!" —annat438173412

“把电热毯放在床单的下面，在你上床前15分钟打开电热毯。你可以一整晚都把它调成最低档。然后在早上电热毯还开着的时候，你可以把衣服放在电热毯下面，这样你的衣服就不会冷冰冰的了。”

2. Blow-dry your whole body.

吹干你的身体。

"I use a hair blow-dryer¹ on all of my body. It's perfect before climbing into a cold bed." —j42f415ef1

“我会用吹风机吹干全身，在爬上冰冷的床之前这样做简直太完美了。”

3. Toss your clothes in the dryer for a few minutes.

把你的衣服扔进烘干机几分钟。

"Put your underwear in the dryer for 10 minutes before you get dressed. It really keeps me warm!" —emmakloepfer

“在你穿衣服之前，把内衣物扔进烘干机烘10分钟。这真的能让我感到温暖！”

4. Run your wrists under hot water to allow your whole body to warm up faster.

用热水冲你的手腕，来让你全身很快暖起来。

"My uncle, who is on ski patrol, told me that the easy access to veins² in your wrists allows the warmed-up blood to travel through your body, making you feel warmer after just a few seconds." —kaelenmariec

“我的叔叔是滑雪救护队的一员，他告诉我一个简单的办法，手腕上的静脉可以促使升温的血液流过你的身体，几秒钟后，你就会感到变暖了。”

5. Warm up with a hot potato.

用一个热土豆来取暖。

"What my mother used to do when we were kids was put a potato in the microwave for 20 secs and have us hold it when walking somewhere cold." —gracegloriag

“在我们还是孩子的时候，我母亲过去常常会把一个土豆放在微波炉里加热20秒，然后让我们走去比较冷的地方时手里握着热土豆。”

6. Start slurping³ hot sauce packets.

"Any kind of spicy⁴ food. Trust me." —elizabethg4ed69df38

8. Opt⁷ for taking a bath over showering.

选择泡澡而不是淋浴。

"Soak in a bath. You absorb the heat from the water and retain it once you get out. It also helps if the cold messes with your circulation." —erenah

“泡个澡吧。你可以从水中吸收热量，当你出水时你的身体也会保持这种热量。在你被冻得血液无法正常循环时，这个方法也很有效。”

“我通常会故意做一些让自己尴尬的事情，然后我全身通红立马开始出汗。”

11. Consider talking to your doctor about getting a prescription⁹.

考虑和你的医生谈谈，拿个处方。

"I have Raynaud's (along with rheumatoid arthritis). For those suffering from extreme coldness, it is a great option to talk to your doctor about." —livvey

“我患有雷诺氏病（以及类风湿性关节炎）。对于那些遭受极度寒冷的人来说，和你的医生聊聊是一个很好的选择。”

12. And finally, relaaaaaaaaxx.

最后一点，放松。

"Relax your muscles. If they are tight your mind will know you're cold. By relaxing them your brain thinks you're comfortable." —theevilestsquirrel

“放松你的肌肉，如果你的肌肉紧绷，你的大脑就会知道你感觉很冷。放松你的肌肉，你的大脑会认为你很舒适。”
