I have been struggling to raise my temperatures into the desired ranges. Core body temperature is usually only slightly below, but I frequently have very cold hands and feet (stress metabolism?).
It occurred to me today, I drink a lot of Juice / Cola straight out the fridge (I sometimes even put a cola in the freezer too, for a refreshing super cold chill). And occasional ice cream too. I also eat raw / uncooked beef quite frequently - I usually eat it straight from the vacuum-sealed pack straight out of the fridge. My fruit is usually refrigerated too (grapes).
I rarely, if ever, drink hot drinks - no tea, no coffee, no bone broth. I've never enjoyed them / always burned my mouth / concerned with staining.
The only time I typically have hot food is cooked starches (potatoes, sweet potatoes etc.) and a gravy - I will usually cook the meat with these meals too.
Forgetting about thyroid function for a second, could my cold foods diet be causing reductions in body temperature or affecting hands and feet? Has anyone had any experience with this / experimented with this?
I suspect the answer may be: "an individual with a healthy metabolism should not have a problem with cold or hot food - it does not make a difference." But for the stressed 32 year old man who has been noticing the beginning symptoms of reduced metabolism, and living under a quite high stress environment: could cold foods have further negative impacts on core temperature or temperature of the extremities?
Thanks all.
