Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 <<Yes, your body warms itself during activity. The point is to maintain activity over time, to build better circulation and respiration. Creating health takes time, and for many people, the body can take a rather long time to readjust thermal regulation. This is particularly so for those who continue to eat salt, spices, dehydrates, etc. These work against effective thermal self-regulation. ........ Elchanan >> I saw a HUGE difference after I GOT IT - that salt and spices had to eliminated not just less. The main difference I think was in my breathing and that effected my energy immediately. I was diagnosed with asthma and at one time was taking the highest doses of asthma medication you could get.

In winter I just wear additional layers of clothes so that I maintain an unnoticeable temperature. -- the kneeling fool raw, holistic, natural diet for body and mind http://health.rawfoodsforhealth/ urine_therapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Em, I didn't know if I gave advice on this topic - I know I do sometimes. I try not to do that too often - I try to just share what has worked for me and less about what has worked for others since I dont't have that experience. I will refer to others that I know understand and know more than myself and that is a LOT of people. I am quite new to raw compared to most. 3 years - I'm not sure any more exactly. I think that is when I got Harvey's book and started eating fruit in the morning. And went from there. I'm warm today. Course I have other life experience just 'cause I'm old.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Em, I agree with all the suggestions that Elchanan gave, and will add that they work! This is the first winter that I haven't posted the how to stay warm question. I have been comfortable all season. The basic tools I use to stay warm are: Drinking warm water (plain water) and if my fingers are cold I hold the mug in my hands for a few minutes to help them warm up. Last winter I bought a hat, scarf and wore them in addition to my gloves and coat. The scarf makes a HUGE difference. I have learned to put it on before my coat so its almost seamless and the cold wind can't get in. I purchase a quality wool coat that is long, mid calf. It keeps me so warm, I wish I hadn't been stubborn and purchased on long ago. Layers - I have been adding to my collection of capline from Patagonia often buying on Ebay. I have a new pair of orange sherbet colored socks that I added this year for wearing around the house .... they are divine! And a really key part of my staying warm plan is exercise. I get on the treadmill for 30 - 45 minutes right after I wake up in the morning. That creates a warmth that lasts well beyond my shower and getting ready to leave for work. We have a YMCA membership that we use during the winter, and so I stop by and work out on my way home from work most evenings. I also keep 1 or 2 fleece blankets on our couch. Any time one of us is feeling a little chill we can grab it and wrap up until nice and toasty again. It seems like a lot just to stay warm, but once you get into the habit it's really not that big of a deal. And if you are like me and hate being cold - Its well worth it! Hope that helps!
