Foods like nuts that are high in healthy fats help the
body control its temperature. People usually feel cold when they don't have enough fats in their food. So when you feel cold, try to eat some more foods like nuts which are also good for health in other ways.
Like tea, a hot soup can warm you from the inside. But
it also can help you more. It even can help you lose some weight. A recent study finds that soup before a meal can reduce your calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) by 20%.
Take more exercise and your body will become hot.
And you'll be happy to have a healthy weight. Sweat (汗水) with exercise will increase (增强) a blood circulation (血液循环) to warm yourself up.
A warm bath helps you warm up and sleep better. A study reports that taking a warm bath a few hours before bedtime can increase your body temperature. Then you'll feel more relaxed and fall asleep more easily.

A billionaire (亿万富翁) called Elon Musk has reported his great plan: take 80,000 brave people to Mars and living there.
He said the plan would start small and the first 10 people would be taken there in a specially-made rocket (特制的火箭).
Musk was the first businessman (商人) to travel in space this spring. Last week, he won a prize in London. \"At Mars, you'll start a new world,\" He talked about his great plan. “The ticket price is $500, 000 each. Some people from rich countries could raise enough money to make the trip.\"
Of course, these passengers would be sent to work rather than go there on vacation. They would have to carry some equipment to build strong houses for people. There would be some CO2 in the houses which would be covered with a layer (层) of water to serve as protection from the sun. With the CO2, crops would be able to grow at Mars. Also, the equipment could produce O2 for people to breathe to live.
Musk believed one person out of every 100,000 people would be interested in the journey. By the time his plan became true, there would be 8 billion people on Earth. ( ) 46.
