• Take good care of your eyes

The first and most important thing that you have to do in order to cope with the British winter, is to take good care of your eyes. In case you don’t know, the low temperatures can cause dry eye symptoms and so you can feel your eyes itchy or hurting. The best thing you can do in order to care for your eyes is to visit an optician practice in the UK to check your vision and give you advice on how to look after your eye health. This way you will spend the rest of your trip, being carefree and happy. 

• Pack with you some warm clothes

Another thing that is very important to deal with the coldest winter in the UK, is to pack your suitcase with the warmest clothes in your wardrobe. Is very important to dress up with warm outfits that make you look stylish as well as comfortable. Of course, some accessories such as a warm scarf, a hat to keep you warm (and stylish), and a pair of snow boots are essential too to protect yourself from the low temperatures.

• Take vitamin D supplements

Last but not least, another tip that you must follow for dealing with the coldest winter in the UK is to take vitamin D supplements. But what makes this vitamin so special? Vitamin D is nicknamed the sunshine vitamin because it gives your body the same vitamins as the sunlight. You might already know that in the UK, during winter the sun is falling down early in the afternoon and for the rest of the day, the sun is behind the clouds. Therefore, taking this vitamin will boost your energy and you will feel very energetic for enjoying your trip.
