As winter’s chill settles in, the search for warmth extends beyond cozy blankets and constantly turned on radiators. Surprisingly, certain foods have the power to naturally increase our body temperature, providing an effective shield against the cold. Let’s explore five solid choices that can warm you up from the inside out.

Cumin

This spice gently elevates your body temperature without overwhelming your taste buds. Unlike the intense heat of pepper or chili, cumin gradually warms you up as you incorporate it into your dishes. Enhance your meals with this underestimated herb to experience a comforting, slow-burning internal heat that will leave you feeling snug during the winter months.

Bananas

Bananas, often overlooked in the winter pantry, emerge as a powerhouse of nutrients that actively regulate body temperature. Packed with magnesium and B vitamins, bananas support the functioning of your thyroid and adrenal glands, crucial players in temperature regulation, particularly when it’s cold outside. Incorporate bananas into your breakfast, slice them and eat them with yogurt, bake them into cakes, or grind them into smoothies. Or, here’s a wild idea –enjoy them as they are!

Peanuts

Elevate your snack game with peanuts, rich in vitamin B-3, a nutrient that encourages blood flow and assists proper metabolism. These crunchy delights, high in healthy fats and protein, make for a lovely snack option year-round, but they shine as a winter essential by helping your body fend off the cold. Indulge in peanuts at home and on the go and stay warm while enjoying a nutritious treat.

Coffee

While sipping on a steaming cup of coffee might seem like an obvious choice to stay warm, it’s the caffeine content that truly does the trick. Caffeine stimulates your metabolism, making your body generate heat. If you truly want to maximize the benefits, it’s recommended to opt for black coffee.

Ginger

Don’t underestimate the body-warming benefits of ginger. Research shows that this healthy spice helps boost thermogenesis, which is the process of heat production in the body. Beyond its warming properties, it reduces hunger, improves digestion, and has anti-inflammatory benefits. Add ginger to various dishes or enjoy it in a cup of tea with lemon and honey – you won’t regret it.

Set aside Heat a large non-stick pot over medium-low, carefully transfer the ground onions/tomatoes to the pot Add ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cayenne and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium-high, stirring often.

It’s not easy to stay warm during the winter days, and as a result, we’re always searching for ways to get that extra burst of heat. What we eat is a big part of that, and that extends to the spices we put on our food. Indeed, certain spices can keep us warm in a handful of ways, and some are better than others at doing this. Here are two that are sure to give you that warm, cuddly feeling.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon contains an active ingredient that helps with blood circulation and thereby contributes to warming the body. It can help warm areas far from the heart such as the hands and feet where the cold in winter is immediately felt.

Ginger

Ginger also helps with warming up the body, and here’s how. The spiciness of the ginger enters nerve channels across the tongue and conveys a message of pain to the brain. The body responds to the pungent taste with an increased heart rate and body temperature, heating us up in the process!

Spiciness causes the body to sweat, and by doing so our body balances and maintains its temperature. To warm the body, you can drink boiling water that has been soaked with ginger slices for about 10 minutes.

Fall can be a particular time of year. Summer’s on it’s way out, the smell of the wind changes, and the colors shift from emerald green and sapphire blues to bright oranges, browns, and reds. To feel at one with nature’s turns we need to find the right drinks that reflect the mood. Here are four cocktails that reflect that autumnal spirit.

Fall Punch

Add pear juice and pear cordial to a spiced rum base. Then, mix in lemon juice and ginger beer to complete that warming, spicy effect that will leave you feeling calm and comforted.

Cider Hot Toddy

This fall classic will leave you feeling warm and refreshed on a cold day. Mix whiskey and cinnamon into warm apple cider for a spicy finish.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfl9qGIDbm_/

Mulled Cider

Heat apple cider with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, lemon slices, allspice, and cloves over high heat until boiling. Simmer for 45 minutes, add rum, and gently heat. Sieve out the fruit and spices and you have the perfect party drink.

Apricot Bourbon Brew

Mix bourbon with apricot essence and add cinnamon. Apply orange rind to the rim of the glass for decoration and aftertaste.
