This forum just reminded me how cold I was :).... When I'm cold I make smoothies, with room temp fruit, and add a little nutmeg and cinnamon. It tastes lovely, and gives me a little bit of a warm feeling.

Thanks everyone. I hate to be cold. I'm gonna check out that hot chocolate recipe (thanks daniefon) and see if i can find some blender soup recipes too.

Rawkidchef, I like your thoughts on working out outside to build up resistance to the cold. I think i will try hiking and biking this winter and see if it helps becuase I really don't like being cold and I think maybe i do shelter myself from it too much. Idk.

to avoid being cold you can take some red pepper, ginger, cinammon and everything that is helping the cardiac system.

Hum good luck

I would look into ayurvedic medicine. As I recall, they categorize foods into cold, hot, etc. Like cucumbers are a cold food, onions are a hot food. If you're cold, you may not be eating enough warming foods. It's important to eat according to your dosha. You can take a quiz on-line to see what your dosha is. I'm a pitta, so when I'm feeling out of balance, I'm probably eating too many "hot" foods. It would be worth looking into.
