Food provides calories that maintain body heat.
Close curtains, shades or drapes. Close doors or hang a blanket over the entrance to unused areas. Use foods that spoil rapidly first. Most foodborne diseases are caused by bacteria in raw or undercooked foods of animal origin such as meat, milk, eggs, fish or shellfish. Proper storage and cooking of these foods can help prevent foodborne illness.
