1. When at home avoid barefoot/ thin socks on cold, tiled/wooden floors

4. Being thin puts you at higher risk (less padding!) so if you’re heading out, layer-up
5. Hand and foot warmers are useful
6. Keep moving - activity/ exercise improves circulation
7. Good overshoes and thick socks when cycling 🚴♂️
