I’m a big fan of summer, but I have to say, winter is my favorite. The crisp morning air, the musty smell of wet pavement after it rains, the sprinkles of foggy mist on my face when I step outside. I just love it.
The body needs different foods in different seasons. In summer, berry smoothies do a body good. But in winter, our bodies need warm foods (and I’m not referring to temperature). As a food enters our body, it either warms our core temperature or cools it down. Warming foods have a heating effect in our bodies, meaning that they keep our temperature at it’s normal range rather than bring it down. Cooling foods have the opposite effect. It would only make sense that during winter we would eat warming foods, right? Because who wants to eat a large cold salad and watermelon when it’s snowing outside? Not me!
