Ep. 46: How warm food can change your life: anxiety, insomnia, depression, gut health, etc.

Imagine if simply choosing warm food and drink could help: • depression • anxiety • insomnia • gas • bloating • promote healthy gut bacteria (say bye-bye to expensive probiotics) • painful periods… All these benefits, without biohacking gadgets, expensive supplements and exotic superfoods! This powerful tweak is something that we all can access today – and something that Chinese Medicine has been talking about for several millennia. So simple, and so empowering: each mouthful can move us towards ever-greater health. A new study from the British Journal of Nutrition confirms what Chinese Medicine has known for well over 5,000 years. In this episode, we learn why this works, and how you can apply it for yourself. And if you’d like me to show you how to utilise the power of Chinese Medicine is other daily habits and tweaks, I have created the Radiant Energy Reset for you.   RESEARCH PAPERS Cold and hot consumption and health outcomes among US Asian and White populations Drinking water temperature affects cognitive function and progression of Alzheimer’s disease in a mouse model Effect of cold stress on ovarian & uterine microcirculation in rats and the role of endothelin system Visceral hypersensitivity following cold water intake in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome Hot Water Swallows Improve Symptoms and Accelerate Esophageal Clearance in Esophageal Motility Disorders The Pressor Response to the Drinking of Cold Water and Cold Carbonated Water in Healthy Younger and Older Adults
