Spices can add warmth to the body.
It’s the season when people start to change the way they eat and start going towards warming foods like soups and stews.
The one thing that most people are not aware of is the importance of understanding of how foods affect our bodies internally. For example, people may be eating foods that are very warming or hot to the body during the summer time, adding additional heat to their body and becoming overheated. Imagine a man in a room packed with people and he is the first person to take his light jacket off while everyone else still has their jacket on. This shows that he has a very warm body, which could be caused by the warming or hot energy caused by certain foods.
Each person is different and one will need to figure out how their body works with these foods, but if one is always cold then one may want to consider adding more of the foods from the list below, which is a portion of the list from the book Glow by Christine Pirello’s.
