As Nairobians begin a new week, it is evident that the chilly weather has left a few people on the streets of Nairobi.

Greetings have now shifted to ‘how are you doing in this chilly weather’ with others seen wrapped in heavy clothes as they cross the roads. But this is just a fraction of Nairobians.

Some have taken to Twitter to complain about the rain and yet it is already chilly with others confessing how the cold weather has kept them away from the shower for days.

As if the cold was not enough, the rains too have joined the competition in Nairobi. Watu wazaane.

But if you are a lady you could also do a warm sweater and don it with a matching scarf to prevent the cold weather from hitting your chest.

If you are planning to leave the house, it is advised that you arm yourself with woollen scarves, gloves, warm socks and boots

You need to invest in synthetic, wicker based layers that pull the sweat right off your skin.

During this period some people tend to sweat over wearing heavy layers. If you happen to get wet externally, get inside and dry off as soon as possible.

Food

This is not the time to eat cold food that you carried to the office or that you have bought in a supermarket.

Warm your food and eat it hot.

However, it is advised that you take more spicy food e.g the chilli peppers and spicy seasonings which contain a compound called capsaicin which increases the body temperature, creating a warming effect.

Water

This is the time to drink hot water all the time. If not hot then warm enough to keep your body steady and warm.

Stay active

Keep yourself as active as possible to boost your circulation. Move around the house if you are working at home at least once an hour and avoid sitting still for long periods.

Even light exercise will help keep you warm. When you do sit down, put your feet up as it’s coldest nearest the ground.

Heater

If the house is too cold you could invest in a heater and use it when needed.

If you don’t have a heater, don’t use a jiko in a closed room as inhaling carbon monoxide can lead to death.
