I've been trying to keep some drinks warmer recently, like storing soda at room temperature. I tried heating up some milk before bed last night (just like for kids!), and seemed to feel better than when drinking colder beverages before bed. Although, this morning trying to warm up juice, I cracked a glass.
In modern Western society we quite happily put substances into our body at temperatures that our exteriors cannot tolerate. There is no place in the Chinese diet for iced drinks or frozen delicacies or for piping hot meals and beverages. There are no microwaves or hot plates to reheat food or keep it bubbling. Wok-fried or simmered dishes are placed on the table and gradually shared among the diners. By the time a small piece of food has been selected with a pair of chopsticks it is never too hot for the mouth or tongue, and so will not cause any damage to the body’s equilibrium.
Not all cooling foods work gently to restore the balance in the body. In fact many need to be treated with caution as they worsen the situation. As much as you may crave them after a rich meal, the worst thing you can do is bombard a hot stomach with ice cold drinks or ice-cream. These unnaturally cold foods will only cause further damage to the affected organs and the whole body.
In Chinese culture, eating cold things is not suitable for mothers in the first two months after giving birth, even in the hot summer. Why we adopt certain practices in our culture?
I honestly just microwave all the juice and milk I drink, but I'm guessing the microwave is a big no no for you
Funny enough I started drinking tea yesterday (chamomile) again , the whole day I didnt feel well , and that was the turnaround. I remember I specifically craved a warm liquid !Tagging @Mauritio, think you might be interested in this thread, and the ones I linked at the top.
There could be a lot of context here. If you are young and/or healthy, temperature might not matter much.
Summer, cold foods might be fine regardless.
Winter, maybe not so much.
I've been thinking more about overall Body Temperature recently, which made Peat's recent newsletter especially timely.
It's gotten me wondering more and more..... could some of the problems people have with the foods mentioned in the title be due to the fact they are mostly eaten cold? Usually, straight out of the fridge? I know Peat has suggested that hypothyroid people can't handle liquids well. Is part of the issue so many liquids are drunk cold?
I know Matt Stone made this point (or something similar) in "Eat for Heat." There is also a German author, Uwe Karstädt, who warned of this problem, specifiically mentioning cold beer-
Youtube can auto generate English subtitles, FYI.
Could temperature be a reason for "Beer Belly?" And why there isn't the term "Red Wine Belly?"

Anyone have any useful tips, tricks or gadgets to quickly warm up milk and OJ? I've seen beverage warmers, but don't know if they would work.
An Infrared Warmer would be fantastic, if it worked.

Interesting. It's almost impossible to find quarts let alone half gallons anymore. Bastards.Don't know if this is what you are looking for but I do have an anecdote involving food temperature and body temperature. I have not done this in a while but in the winter time if I eat a pint of Hagen Daz ice cream served cold, an hour later I get incredibly warm and my tolerance to cold weather goes way up. Hagen Daz can keep me warm in the winter.
I don't think Hagen Daz comes in pints anymore. I think a few years back they shrank the containers down to 14 oz.
OMG, FRIES!Yep, agree. No one really craves wheat, they crave pizza, pasta, donuts and such.
Potato does really well with fat, however. Hash browns and French fries are G E W D, gewd.
Me: What do you think is the optimal temperature for milk to be consumed at? Also, why might lukewarm milk produce less gas in my colon than heated milk, while other people seem to digest heated milk better?
RP: The digestive functions all work best at 98 or 99 degrees F; lower temperature slows or stops the digestive functions. Lukewarm is the best temperature for food. Food that we don’t digest becomes available to support the growth of bacteria, which can cause gas and toxic effects.
How does TCM classify sugar?In TCM theres also yang and ying foods ,meaning hot and cold foods ,meaning some food are meant to increase your body temperature if you're low in it .
