Argentina homes receive free winter heating and food advice

Advice for Argentine households to keep indoor temperatures comfortable during the cold season emphasizes low‑cost, natural methods. Recommended measures include adding wooden furniture or paneling, ventilating briefly during sunny periods, installing thick metal curtains, hanging heavy pictures or tapestries on exterior walls, laying rugs on floors, and using residual heat from kitchen appliances and electronics. Additionally, focusing heating on small rooms can reduce energy demand.

Nutrition experts also suggest high‑energy, hot meals to help the body retain warmth, such as stews, slow‑cooked braises, soups, corn‑based dishes and traditional locro. A balanced diet, limited ultra‑processed foods, adequate hydration and moderate physical activity are advised to support immune health and comfort during the polar air mass affecting the country.
