Chapter 3 – Your Winter Warming Diet

The best part of winter is you don’t have to diet at all.

Now, there are people that may argue just the opposite, but when you look at diet logically, you CAN discover tools that will help create internal heat, the kind that warms you from the inside out.

When it comes to saving money on heating costs, most people think of things they can do around the house. There is however, another approach you can take to help “warm” your home during the winter, and it has more to do with what you put in your mouth than what you do with your home.

Most people don’t give much thought to the foods they eat - whether it is winter, spring or summer. Eating the right types of foods, however, can help you “warm up” internally during the colder months of winter. When you “feel” warmer, you naturally are less inclined to turn your furnace up higher to keep you and your home warmer.

If you manage to eat just the right combination of foods, you may even find you avoid gaining excess wait during the winter. Now that’s a benefit EVERYONE can enjoy. This is true especially during the holidays, when most people are prone to putting on a few pounds.

Summer Foods

There are winter warming foods and then there are summer foods. While this book is dedicated to keeping you warm during the winter, you should have an idea of what foods are better saved for the spring or summer.

If you tend to eat too many “summer” foods in the winter, you’ll likely feel cold no matter how high you turn the heat up in your home.

What does that mean? You should avoid eating large quantities of summer foods during the cold months. It isn’t a coincidence that some fruits, vegetables and other food products thrive during certain times of the year.

Typically cold foods including salads are helpful during the summer as they tend to keep your body cool. During the winter you are far better off eating stir fried or steamed vegetables than salad. Cold soups like gazpacho are another luxury item you should avoid during the winter to keep warm.

At the same time you may find gazpacho just the treat you need during the summer to cool off after a hard day’s work. Remember, think of your body as its own heat-creating machine. The more you work to stay warm from the inside out, the less energy you will expend heating from the outside in.

Warming Foods for Winter

So, what types of foods should you concentrate on eating during the winter? Here are some excellent ideas.

Curry – foods containing curry, an ingredient that helps spice foods, tend to be warming. Examples may include vegetable curry or Thai curry. You don’t have to be a chef to learn how to add curry to your diet. Simply go to your local grocer and look for the international foods section. Curry in scrambled eggs is excellent. Curry also tastes good when mixed with potato soup and other delights. Consider investing in a cookbook that teaches you fun and simple recipes you can adopt to help warm your body during the coldest months of the year.

Chili – chili is one of the simplest foods to make. Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat lover, you are bound to find a chili recipe you love. For the most part, chili is nothing more than some beans, vegetables and if you like, some form of meat mixed together and then spiced with various ingredients including cayenne pepper. If you don’t want to make your own chili sauce you can buy small packets for pennies on the dollar at the grocery store. You can make big batches of chili and freeze some to use later, for those extra cold days you need a lift.

Tea – Tea and other warm drinks are helpful for warming the soul during the winter. You can also enjoy other hot drinks like coffee, just be sure to eat something with your coffee so the acid doesn’t upset your stomach. Hot chocolate is another popular and tasty choice. You can even sip warm water with a splash of lemon to help cleanse your body and keep you warm during the winter.

Cayenne – Cayenne and other peppers are sometimes used in diet products. Why? They heat the body. They may also help boost your metabolism and may help keep the blood in your body circulating. There are many types of foods you can add cayenne spice to. If you prefer less spicy foods, you can actually get cayenne in a capsule at most health or herbal food stores. Check it out and try it.

Peppers – You don’t have to down a bowl full of jalapenos to stay warm (unless you want to). However, you can add a blend of various peppers to help add to the flavor of your main dishes and help warm your body during the winter. Peppers taste great with chicken, Thai or stir-fry dishes, in vegetable soups, with stews, in chili and more. Experiment with peppers and see what you like. You can even dice them and add them to hamburger mix to make a mighty hot meatloaf!

Here is another fun and helpful tip. You may already do this, but in case you don’t here is some good advice.

When you cook foods in your oven, leave your oven open to let heat escape into a room and provide instant relief from a chilly breeze or cold hands and feet. Certainly you’ve opened your freezer or refrigerator more than once during hot summer months to “cool down” haven’t you? The same concept applies to your oven. Stand next to any heat source, and you are likely to enjoy and reap the benefits of more heat.
