Acid vs alkaline - cold weather

[Guest guest]

Hi Kay & Lynne,

 

It is my opinion that raw food should never be eaten cold. It should

always be eaten either at body temperature or warmer as long as it is

below the temperature that the enzymatic action is de-activated.

When food is cold it requires quite an amount of energy usage on the

part of our bodies to warm it to the point of where the digestive

enzymes can function, which is minimally one degree below normal body

temperature. So this deprives us of the energy we require for keeping

ourselves warm. Whereas when the food is warm(not cooked), we do not

require to expend this energy as the temperature is already correct for

the enzymes both in the foods, and the digestive enzymes to function.

Thanks John - I can understand it when you say that - Nick and I are cold a

lot of the time and what you say makes such sense to me. Our bananas are at

room temperature so they are ok but when we eat a large salad it is most

likely colder from the fridge.

Thanks for your imput - the weather here is really cold although the

forecast says a warmer spell is coming this weekend - roll on the warmth,

Kay eh!!

 

Your situation is different to mine Kay - I can see that, now.

Love Lynne
