With a severe weather warning in place across London many of us will be reaching for extra layers and cranking the heating up.
But according to experts a change in your diet could be the answer to keeping toasty during the cold snap.
A report by RIFT TAX Refunds has revealed the foods and ingredients which are scientifically proven to keep you warm through the winter.
Women are even more likely to feel the chills this winter, as on average the female office worker has a metabolic rate 35 per cent lower than men, meaning we should be reaching for thermogenic foods.

Nutritionist, Clarissa Lenherr adds 'Diet-induced thermogenesis can help you stay warm throughout our coldest months and keeps your stomach happy.
'By eating foods high in fibre, protein, complex carbohydrates and spice can encourage our bodies to convert calories into heat and consequently keep us toasty and warm'
Clarissa has created three packed lunches that are all packed full of foods designed to keep you warm as the temperatures drop.
THE SLOW RELEASE WARMER
Clarissa recommends eating oatmeal to stay cosy. It's a great thermogenic food and is filled with phytochemicals and nutrients that release energy slowly throughout the day to keep your body warm.
Beef is great when you find yourself in chilly conditions because it is a fantastic source of iron, which is crucial for circulating your blood. The high calorie and fat content found in beef makes it the perfect fuel for your body, simply partner with wholemeal bread and make it a sandwich.
Beef is a great source of iron which helps to keep your blood circulating while ginger enhances thermogenic properties
Clarissa says: 'This packed lunch is filled with complex carbohydrates of the oats and wholemeal bread this will prolong our digestive process, heat us up and also provide a slow release of consistent energy for the day'
Finish off with a sweet treat, a slice of ginger cake to complete the perfect packed lunch.
Ginger enhances the thermogenic properties and helps blood circulation in our bodies making it a great source of warmth.
THE HEART-RACING HALF-TIME MEAL
A hearty portion of leek and potato soup can do wonders for you, providing enough energy to keep you warm all day. That's because leeks are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that help your heart pump blood around the body more quickly, preventing coldness to your limbs, keeping you warmer.
Speeding up your metabolism is a great way to warm your body, and eggs are great for this.
Nutritionist Clarissa says: 'protein, provided by the scotch eggs, is the hardest macronutrient to breakdown which means our digestive system has to work harder to break it down, thereby generating more heat'.
Protein found in the scotch eggs is the hardest macronutrient to breakdown which means your digestive system generates more heat while cinnamon can naturally increase your circulation
Adding a scotch egg to your packed lunch could not only raise your metabolism, but the vitamin B12 found in the egg breaks down body fat.
Cinnamon possesses plenty of warming properties, so think about introducing it into your lunch with a cinnamon bun.
Clarissa suggests that the cinnamon spice 'can naturally increase your circulation' ultimately keeping your vital organs warm and preventing you from feeling a chill.
Finish off your lunchtime with a cup of tea, adding a spoonful of honey instead of sugar for a warming touch; not only does it give your brew a sweetness, but it is great for raising your metabolism to protect you from chills.
SPICE UP YOUR MIDDAY BREAK
Start off your packed lunch with a handful of dried fruit. Rich in nutrients and minerals, dry fruit is best served in small portions, so your body can efficiently absorb the goodness.
A warming curry can be the perfect cure for a winter chill. Clarissa adds that 'Capsaicin from chilli found in the curry is warm-inducing' this bolsters your metabolic rate and increases the enzymes that metabolise fat.
A warming curry can bolster your metabolic rate while brown rice takes longer to break down meaning once again your body is producing more heat as it works harder
For the rice, it is important to choose brown or wholemeal because these are complex carbohydrates that take longer to break down. Because your body is working harder to digest your food, your body heat rises, meaning you'll be warmer for longer.
Clarissa advices you to swap a normal cup of breakfast tea for refreshing ginger and honey tea; 'Ginger, a super spice, can help relieve headaches, warm you from the inside out and control your blood sugar levels, meaning it can prevent energy spikes and dips throughout your day'.
She emphasises that 'this balanced meal provides complex carbohydrates, ample protein, fat and fibre; however, it is the spice benefits of this combination that make it the most warming'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
