How to heat the body this winter (The Independent)

In light of the cost of living crisis and rising gas and electric bills, some people are opting for more affordable alternatives to central heating. Here at IndyBest, we love anything that’s going to save us money whether it’s using a heated clothes airer or snuggling up in a blanket hoodie.

Our first instinct is to whack on the central heating when we feel a chill, but there are plenty of much more cost-effective and energy efficient alternatives to try first that won’t cost you quite as much in utilities in the long run.

According to experts, it’s more energy efficient to create warmth close to you, meaning measures can be taken to keep your body warm, not necessarily the whole room and definitely not the whole house.

So with this in mind we’ve gathered some great options from rechargeable hand warmers to fluffy electric foot warmers to keep your essential digits warm.
