Q I love cold food. Is that related to feeling cold?
A Frequent cold drinks, iced coffee and cold fruit chill the interior first. A cold interior slows digestion and lowers the power to make heat with it. Rather than cutting them out entirely, try switching to warm on an empty stomach in the morning and in the evening hours.
Detailed Answer
Prolonged extreme eating restriction or fasting brings body temperature down with it. A diet short of protein also lacks the material for making heat. Warm soups and ginger tea are particularly helpful in winter.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Many people notice their whole day feels different simply from switching the first drink of the morning to warm water. Changing temperature and timing is kept up far longer than deciding what to give up.
