Why Is It Better to Be Warm Than in the Living Room?

Being in bed is a wonderful thing, but it's awfully dangerous place to be really. Old people are particularly at risk here because the ability to sense your internal temperature reduces as you get older. Your ability also to control the blood flow to your periphery declines with age. All of this adds together into a scenario where even if you don't have an acute serious illness - you may well end up needing hospital care.
