The science of body heat
Warmth starts on the inside
Your body generates heat by metabolizing the nutrients you eat, then your blood circulates this warmth to your hands and feet. Colder climates, staying still, and a less insulated body can all contribute to the loss of heat and that frozen feeling in our extremities.
One more sweater?
Another layer of clothing can help retain some warmth, but sometimes you're just chilled to the bone and it feels like the cold stays in you even when you come indoors.
What’s causing this?
Some of the things that can turn your heat down
- A sluggish metabolism that produces less heat
- Poor circulation, so warmth doesn’t reach your hands and feet
- Deficiency of your body's Yang energy, the “inner fire” in Chinese Medicine
- Prolonged exposure to the cold, enjoying winter sports or air conditioning
The protocol
How to fix this?
Traditional Chinese Medicine says we should consume warming foods & herbs that tonify the body's Yang energy and release trapped cold.
