How turning the heat down or off could pose a grave threat to your health this winter

We're all keeping a close eye on our energy bills this winter but turning down the temperature too far could cost us in terms of our health

Don't turn the heating off this winter 

In the face of rising energy bills, we’ve probably all looked at ways to keep warm at home this winter. An extra blanket or two maybe, or even a coat on freezing days? Or at the risk of chilblains a hot water bottle under your feet?

It’s good we’re planning how to keep warm because turning the heat way down or – perish the thought – turning it off could, while reducing bills, cost us in terms of our health. And for some it could pose a grave threat to health.
