Martin Lewis' tips for keeping warm - without turning heating on

Martin Lewis has shared tips for staying warm this winter - without even having to put the heating on. His advice comes as the cost of living and energy crisis continues to put a strain on people's budgets, with the energy price cap to rise yet again in April next year.

During the latest instalment of The Martin Lewis Money Show, the financial guru and his team revealed they had carried out extensive research on ways to "heat the human and not the home". "It was really depressing, the fact that we needed to do it because of the way energy prices were going and the way some people wouldn’t be able to turn their central heating on," Martin told viewers.

"As it turned out the research that we did has been really useful, not just for people who are in desperate states, but for many who just want to reduce their central heating. Lots of stuff from how you effectively layer clothes, but the one that really took off was small electrical items for heating the person."Martin also pointed out a number of cheap and cost-effective electrical items - including heated gloves, handwarmers, an electric gilet and heated insoles.

Martin also encouraged viewers to check the temperature setting of their thermostat in what he dubbed the "one degree challenge" Marin added that most people have their thermostat set around 21 degrees before suggesting: "It's not for me to tell you what to do, but I’d like you to try reducing it by one degree."

He did, however, suggest that the move could save people around 10 per cent on their heating bill. The World Health Organization says a temperature of 18 degrees is "fine for healthy adults".
