Actually I have followed the ayurvedic for quite a long time;

however, I am not inclined toward sweet, and do have a draw toward

pickled giner since coming to NM. Thanks for your suggestions, and

advice on living in the SW. Strange, I am still looking into why the

chilies actually cooled me last summer with the extreme heat. Will

keep hydrating, as usual.

" Do you follow ayurvedic prinicples at all in your raw vegan

lifestyle? If so I would eat mostly sweet, sour and salty foods and

avoid the bitter, astringent and pungent foods as they dehydrate

(drying). I know the southwest is popular for their hot spices but

you might want to experiment and go slowly with the adaption as your

body is not used to handling them. "

Hi Lea~

Each LOCAL food naturally harvested is made to make your body adapt to that

particular time of year. I am just really learning this now. So chilis native

to NM that are havested in the summer should cool you as they help you adapt

to the current climate in the current area.

Since I just moved to VA, I am trying to find what grows here locally so I

can benefit from this as well. So much of our food is shipped in from other

climates even other hemispheres, where the seasons are opposite. I just

realized

this morning that apples are not harvested in the northern hemisphere this

time of year. So they are coming from the southern hemisphere where it is now

winter. So they are helping us adapt to that particular climate~whatever that

may be. Not too helpful to where we live.

 

Oranges from CA will help with the dryness but Oranges from FL are grown in a

humid climate and help the body adapt to that climate. Interesting huh???

 

I find your chili experience pure proof of this and exciting!

Angel: Especially when you consider for example that cold water heats the body

up, and hot water cools it down in the bodies attempts to regulate it's self.

This would seem to be the same case with the hot foods in hot climates. I moved

here to Arizona about 3 years ago from the Pacific NW, and noticed an increase

in my desire for hot foods here. -Angel
