商店里已经摆满保暖内衣了，冬天真的要来了，不过也不一定会带来烦人的咳嗽、喷嚏、皮肤干燥和双手冰冷。我们给你带来了冬季终极生存攻略，有很多简单的窍门来帮你保暖、保持健康。
Blink more or wear sunglasses
多眨眼或者戴太阳眼镜
The colder the air, the less moisture it contains, which can mean dry eyes, causing the cells that produce tears to shut down to protect themselves from the irritation. Spectacles and sunglasses can help reduce the airflow and evaporation around the eyes.
空气越冷就越干燥，这就会导致眼睛干涩，分泌泪水的细胞为了免受刺激会暂停运作。普通眼镜和太阳眼镜都有助于减少眼睛与气流的接触和水分的蒸发。
Eat with your left hand at parties
在聚会上用左手吃东西
Hands can carry illness-causing bacteria and bugs. Using a different hand to greet people and to eat reduces the chance of those bacteria being transferred to your mouth, making you ill.
双手携带着很多致病细菌。用一只手去打招呼，然后用另一只手吃东西可以减少这些细菌进入嘴巴并让你得病的机会。
Say no to hot toddy
不要喝热棕榈酒
Alcohol might make you feel warm at first because it causes warm blood to rush toward your skin, but you may end up feeling colder because this action can take blood away from the internal organs, causing body temperature to drop.
酒精一开始或许会让你觉得暖和，因为酒精会令温热的血流经皮肤，但最后你可能会感到更冷了，因为这会让内脏的血流变少，使体温下降。
Walk round the shopping centre
去购物中心走几圈
Winter weather really can trigger joint pain. As well as wearing warm clothing, experts recommend heat packs or warm baths and keeping active (40 minutes each day) to keep the joints mobile, and if the weather is not too bad, go for a walk outside, or if it's inclement, a stroll around a shopping centre.
冬天的天气确实会引发关节痛。除了穿保暖的衣服，专家还建议用暖宝、泡热水澡并经常活动关节（每天40分钟）。如果天气不是太糟的话就到户外走走吧。如果天气十分恶劣，那就去购物中心转转吧。
Sit next to a lamp in the morning
早上坐在台灯旁照照
A consultant neuropsychiatrist recommends use of a daylight lamp for 30 minutes each morning for patients who don't sleep well in winter. Daylight helps trigger the production of the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate our mood and sleep patterns.
一名神经精神病学顾问建议冬天睡眠质量差的病人每天早上在日光台灯旁照30分钟。日光会刺激褪黑素的合成，这有助于使我们的情绪和睡眠模式保持规律。
