The cold can penetrate through the thickest jacket and make its way straight to the bone. At this point, you\u2019ll probably feel like sticking inside by the heater, happily drinking hot cocoa and watching the TV.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The winter doesn\u2019t need to be a time of full isolation, trapped inside the walls of your house. If you know how, time outdoors in cold weather can actually be enjoyable, and warm!&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The secret of how to stay warm in the cold is a combination of different tactics. It starts with fueling your body sufficiently to allow it to produce enough heat. Then, you need a good layering system to trap the heat that your body produces. Finally, moving your body generates loads of heat that will keep you feeling cozy all day long.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_49 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Fueling_Your_Body\" title=\"Fueling Your Body\">Fueling Your Body<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#What_Food_Makes_the_Best_Energy\" title=\"What Food Makes the Best Energy?\">What Food Makes the Best Energy?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#A_Good_Layering_System\" title=\"A Good Layering System\">A Good Layering System<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Base_Layers\" title=\"Base Layers\">Base Layers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Insulating_Layers\" title=\"Insulating Layers\">Insulating Layers<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Outer_Shell\" title=\"Outer Shell\">Outer Shell<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Movement_What_to_do_in_the_Cold\" title=\"Movement: What to do in the Cold\">Movement: What to do in the Cold<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Hiking\" title=\"Hiking\">Hiking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Cross_Country_Skiing\" title=\"Cross Country Skiing\">Cross Country Skiing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Ice_Skating\" title=\"Ice Skating\">Ice Skating<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/say-goodbye-to-the-chills-learn-the-secret-of-staying-warm-in-the-cold\/#Running\" title=\"Running\">Running<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"fueling-your-body\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fueling_Your_Body\"><\/span>Fueling Your Body<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The start of keeping warm when it\u2019s cold outside is to have the right energy to produce the heat you need. Think of your stomach as a furnace, and your body as the house. When the furnace gets low, it\u2019s nearly impossible to keep the whole house warm. So, what do you do? You walk into the basement, throw some more fuel on the fire, then go back to what you were doing before.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your body is talented at taking cookies, sandwiches, and any form of food and turning it all into energy. This energy is sent out throughout the body. Along with it, there\u2019s loads of heat. The idea of \u201cburning calories\u201d is spot on. You\u2019re burning this food to produce energy with an output of heat.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As soon as you recognize that the food you put in turns into heat, you\u2019ll never go hungry in the winter again. Any time you go outside, try to eat something first and bring more snacks for later.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"what-food-makes-the-best-energy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Food_Makes_the_Best_Energy\"><\/span>What Food Makes the Best Energy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now that we know we need to eat, what should it be? What works better? Jelly beans or steak?&nbsp;To avoid diving deep into a full-blown nutrition manifesto, we\u2019ll only talk about two different aspects of the food you eat and what it means for heating your body up.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>First, there\u2019s everyone\u2019s favorite: Sugar. If you look into it, you\u2019ll quickly realize that sugar is in just about everything. Even \u201chealthy\u201d foods like multi-grain bread and oat milk will often have added sugar. Consumers love sugar. Can you really blame them?&nbsp;Sugar works like throwing the gas pedal all the way to the ground in your car. It\u2019ll shoot off, but the fuel is getting eaten up quickly and inefficiently. You go fast, but not for long.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you prefer the fire analogy, it\u2019s like tossing a bunch of leaves onto a campfire. They light up fast and burn bright, but quickly they\u2019ve become floating little memories of a leaf.&nbsp;Sugar gives you a short, quick blast of energy. It\u2019s not the ideal choice for staying warm, but it plays its part.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now we get to talk about fats. Fats have a bad reputation. They <em>can<\/em> be unhealthy when they get consumed, but don\u2019t get used. Since we\u2019re talking about staying warm in cold weather, we love fats.&nbsp;Fats are the equivalent of driving like a grandma, slow and steady. They\u2019re the tortoise racing, and winning, against the hare. They\u2019re the big logs that burn all night and hold a burning coal into the morning. They\u2019re what keep you warm.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.47.15-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22391\" width=\"435\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.47.15-AM.png 831w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.47.15-AM-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.47.15-AM-768x535.png 768w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.47.15-AM-380x265.png 380w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.47.15-AM-800x557.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On Everest, people try to consume between 8,000 and 10,000 calories a day. To get that much energy into your body, you need fats. Mountaineers do this often with sticks of butter. It goes in everything from coffee and oatmeal to the rice and beans at night.&nbsp;We\u2019re not saying you should put sticks of butter in your pocket to go on a walk around your neighborhood. But you should pay attention to the food you eat before and during your time in the cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Healthy fats in nuts, peanut butter, and some meats will be your source of slow-burning energy. Sugars can act as the in-between and help give you the boost you need right away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"a-good-layering-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Good_Layering_System\"><\/span>A Good Layering System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now that you have heat coming from your body, you need to trap it. Many people make the mistake of thinking a thick coat or enough layers are enough to stay warm in the cold. Clothes only trap the heat your body produces rather than actually producing heat. They also act to stop the cold from coming in and whisking the heat away.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.50.37-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22393\" width=\"444\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.50.37-AM.png 739w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.50.37-AM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Screen-Shot-2023-02-06-at-10.50.37-AM-380x252.png 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dressing for cold weather is all about layers. There are three categories of clothing layers that you need to take into consideration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"base-layers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Base_Layers\"><\/span>Base Layers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Base Layers are those that sit right next to your skin. They\u2019re the first line of defense to trap the heat that you\u2019re working so hard to produce. They are also the layer that you won\u2019t take off, so it\u2019s important to choose wisely.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Because you\u2019ll be wearing your base layers the entire time you\u2019re out, you want something that is good at pulling moisture out and away from your skin.&nbsp;Moisture can be dangerous when you\u2019re in the cold. It\u2019s possible to become hypothermic in 50-degree weather if you don\u2019t stay dry.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A good base layer will pull that moisture away from your body to keep you dry. Merino wool is likely the most popular material for good base layers. It\u2019s moisture-wicking, and more importantly, it doesn\u2019t trap a lot of bad smells as polyester does.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"insulating-layers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Insulating_Layers\"><\/span>Insulating Layers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On top of your base layer, you\u2019ll have insulating layers. There can be multiple different layers involved in your insulation, depending on how cold it is outside. You can also play around with the number of insulating layers you have if you\u2019re hiking or moving around a lot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Insulating layers essentially work to create space in which your heat can be trapped. Fleece, down, or other synthetic layering is often puffy. The air traps heat and holds it really well.&nbsp;If it\u2019s really cold, try something like a fleece sweater underneath a down jacket. That will trap heat efficiently over a long period of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"outer-shell\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outer_Shell\"><\/span>Outer Shell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The last thing to put on is an outer shell. This is a water and windproof layer that keeps you dry and prevents wind from taking heat away from your body.&nbsp;Since wind can be one of the sneakiest thieves of heat, you want to make sure your outer shell is at least windproof, if not fully waterproof.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the more important things about layering is maintaining a system that allows you to stay warm, but not so warm that you start sweating. That\u2019s when you mix up your insulation layers and add or remove a layer.&nbsp;Keep extra layers in your bag with your snacks for the moments that you stop moving or want to stash an extra jacket once you get going again.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"movement-what-to-do-in-the-cold\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Movement_What_to_do_in_the_Cold\"><\/span>Movement: What to do in the Cold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019re dressed and fed, so it\u2019s time to actually get outside. The question now is, what are you going to do out there? Not a lot of people choose to go find a park bench on a blustery December afternoon. It\u2019s likely you want to be more active than that.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Movement is how your body knows it needs to burn calories. It\u2019s actually why we shiver whenever we\u2019re getting really cold. The movement of our muscles produces heat as they contract and relax.&nbsp; But you\u2019re not likely to want to go and stand outside shivering either. So, let\u2019s look at some great cold-weather activities to try out and warm up.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"hiking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiking\"><\/span>Hiking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hiking is potentially the most popular cold weather sport. When the cold comes down, a lot of people flee the trails, leaving an empty space for you to get out and enjoy some solitude.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hiking is most likely the best sport to get yourself accustomed to playing with your layering system and mastering the art of eating a ton when cold. You can move slowly, but when you hit a steep climb, you\u2019ll want to take a layer off and prep for the heat that will start to come out of your thighs.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the best pieces of advice many hikers will give you about hiking in the winter is, \u201cbe bold, start cold.\u201d Your body temperature is going to rise when hiking. If you start in every layer, you\u2019ll have to stop soon to take them off in order to avoid sweating.&nbsp; Starting cold allows you to warm up and just keep moving. You\u2019ll get to a comfortable temperature in a few minutes, but you need to allow yourself to be cold for a short period of time at the start.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"cross-country-skiing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cross_Country_Skiing\"><\/span>Cross Country Skiing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re in a spot with snow, cross country skiing can be one of the best ways to get out and move around while having a ton of fun. Sliding down the trail can be surprisingly difficult, and a crazy amount of fun once you get the hang of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22392\" width=\"486\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-1080x720.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-380x253.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Document.jpeg 2121w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are a lot of different styles of cross country skiing, but we\u2019d recommend you try out classic skiing before moving up to skate skiing or any backcountry stuff.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"ice-skating\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ice_Skating\"><\/span>Ice Skating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gliding across the ice like an Olympic figure skater, or maybe falling all around the rink like an inexperienced skater can be a great way to stay warm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ice skating engages all of your body and is incredibly demanding on your core muscles.
