There's a chill in the air - and you might want to keep it there...

Our home heating systems are bound to be seeing some action pretty soon.

We're better off if we keep that fall chill in the air right through winter.  If you can, set a limit on that thermostat to around 68 degrees. A recent study revealed that folks who heated their homes above 68 were more than twice as likely to gain weight over the winter. The body burns more calories when it has to work a little harder to maintain its stable core temperature of 98.6.

It will be easier for the whole family to get used to that 68 degree environment now rather than trying to back off mid-winter.
