We often heard about people dying due to cold weather mainly those of homeless. We often donate warm cloths for such homeless and poor peoples, but that is not enough for them as lots of these people suffers from some other diseases causing to have hypothermia. Starvation or inadequate food intake also causes such people to have hypothermia.
Hypothermia is also caused/made worse by some preexisting diseases such as chronic low-grade infections, hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, etc and checking and treating these conditions can improve the condition dramatically.
Drinking lots of fluids also helps for low grade infections as well as to hypothermia. After consulting and/or checking thyroid one can start taking thyroid supplements, and taking breakfast early in morning is helpful to fight hypothermia.
Wearing four light warm cloths i.e. undergarment followed by warm inners followed by shirt then woolen jersey followed by any windproof/waterproof jacket is ideal to fight hypothermia. Covering head and neck is crucial too. Nose and face should be covered too as inhaling cold air also causes heat loss from body.
