Date: December 23, 2010 07:34PM I started on a raw diet about a year ago. I got pneumonia and ended up getting off the diet. I am starting again and I am always freezing cold. What can I do to keep warm? Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 23, 2010 07:36PM Are you taking sufficient iodine? Many on the raw food diet dont take in sufficient iodine because most fruit and vegetables and grown in iodine depleted soil.
Try seaweeds, increasing iodine will keep you warm. Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 24, 2010 01:03PM I love bananas! Right now it's about 18degrees outside. Winter and raw is difficult. Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 24, 2010 09:12PM Eating bananas signals to your body that you are in a tropical climate, and your hypothalamus will lower your internal body temperature accordingly.
IMO, in colder weather it's wiser to eat more temperate climate fruits. Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 25, 2010 02:37PM You most likely have a hypo condition of the adrenal or thyroid glands. That is the primary reason some people are always cold! Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 25, 2010 02:39PM I don't have either of those conditions and I am nearly always cold. I do have slightly low blood pressure, in the normal range. And I'm thin, not skinny but no extra body fat. I dislike the cold. Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Do you have a reference you could point me to about this? Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 26, 2010 12:23AM When I started to eat less calories from fat and more calories from fruit, I was warmer, and stay warmer consistently throughout the winter. I don't bother my time trying to search for the "answer" to why this is. I've been active that whole time.  Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 26, 2010 11:52PM Coco, you obviously dont eat raw then if you think bananas are bad in cold weather.
Its a bit like saying 'dont use heat cos then your body thinks your in the tropics and it lowers your temperature..' Fact is, we aint designed to live in the cold so we must bring the tropics with us. We bring food and clothing and houses so we can. Doug Graham lives in cold crabby England. He eats more bananas than anyone in the Northern Hemisphere and it looks like he is doing 'ok'.

Date: December 27, 2010 12:04AM That wasn't me commenting on bananas dude.
Though I personally don't eat them, not now and not when I was 100% raw either. I think they're disgusting. Even the smell of bananas makes me gag. Re: starting on raw again and freezing!

Date: December 27, 2010 12:18AM I have a friend that feels the same way about them coco, for me, I have to be in the mood for a banana, they just aren't appetizing to me unless Im in the mood for them, or in smoothies, I love them in smoothies and sorbet with other stuff...but thats about it... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
