Ever think about the energetic properties of your food? Neither did I until I went to acupuncture school and I heard people talking about eating certain foods because they were cooling or warming. NOW, I understand the reasoning. Of course, in the winter you want to be warmer and in the summer you want to be cooler. So why not eat appropriately? That being said, here are some "warming" foods that are great to warm you up in the winter!
1. Aduki beans, lentils, or black beans.
2. Ginge tea
3. Oats, spelt, quinoa, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, pinenuts, chestnuts, fennel, dill, anise, caraway seeds, cumin, and sweet brown rice
4. Rice, corn, buckwheat, and rye
5. Parsnips, parsley, mustard greens, winter squash, sweet potato, kale, onion, leek, chives, garlic, scallions, cherries, and dates
6. Hot peppers, cayenne pepper
7. Butter
8. Anchovy, mussels, trout, chicken, beef, and lamb
