WITH winter on the way here are some tips to keep you warm.
Wear a cashmere sweater
Cashmere sweaters are people's first choice to resist the cold due to their soft and thick texture. You can buy cashmere sweaters under brand names such as Ordos, Spring Bamboo, Bosipeisi, Golden Rabbit, Hengyuanxiang, Leshen and Qungong at Jiading Shopping Center.
If you want to buy cashmere sweaters at lower price, tailor-made ones are available on Beidajie Street and Tacheng Road. There you can choose the wool from different kinds, as well as the thickness, color, and pattern of the sweater and the tailor will make it at your request. You can pick up the sweater two weeks after ordering. A tailor-made sweater costs 400 yuan (US$43) to 1,000 yuan depending on the thickness. Prices of sweaters off the rack at the tailors are generally half of those sold in shopping centers.
Eat nutritious congee
Chestnut congee can help nourish the kidney and relieve lumbar pain due to a weak kidney. Almond congee can moisten a dry throat and help relieve coughs and asthma. Chicken congee can benefit internal organs. Congee made with walnut kernel and mutton can accelerate the metabolic process in the kidney and thus help people generate energy. Apart from making these congees yourself, you can buy them at Bifengtang Store on Robinson Plaza or the congee store near Shanghai University.
Exercise more often
It's easier to get various diseases in winter as the body's metabolism usually slows down in cold weather. People can speed up their metabolism by exercising. From this year on, people are allowed to play football, basketball and badminton in 47 elementary and primary schools in Jiading District. Many of these schools have set up lights at their sports facilities so that people can play at night.
