Hi wonderful people,

I was wondering if you could help me on a subject that I have carried with me, well, er forever!

I get very cold extremities being my hands and finger tips especially, also including too my feet and toes. My body therefore gets colder more quickly than many other people I know and I tend to be the first to throw on a jacket or the last to take it off!

I am new to having a strict raw diet, being my 16th day today and last week I came across 2 people in the natural health side of things (1. kinesiology & 2. The Scio machine) inform me to eat more warming foods. After explaining my new way of life and how in will contradict it, they didn't have any answer for me excepting one person said to eat lots of ginger but finished telling me to cut down on my salad intake shrug
I normally eat a good nob of ginger each day and, cayenne pepper and chilli are always stocked well in my cupboard!

I was also informed today from a New Zealander that Vitamin K Thrombin is used over there but she is not sure if it is used or legal here in Oz! Is this stuff ok to take and does anyone know if it works?

Is there anyone out there that can please shed some light on this subject???

Warm wishes,
salt water

I think you could try more fatty food like nuts, I mean raw nuts. You could also try coconut cream. Raw unprocessed one will be good to raise body temperature. You could buy at www.ionlife.info/  I have not tried it as yet, but I believe it will help you. You may also try coconut oil.

try more exercise and keep well hydrated. and some people are more inclined to bee like this esp. if you naturally have low blood pressure. i'm exactly the same...my son always sweats easily and never feels the cold...and my newborn daughter seems to be like me...cold hands and feet Smiley

I chatted to someone a while back who said this was one of their best improvements on raw. She believed it was due to the blood cleansing.

Thanks you to my responders,

Love Food, thank you just to let you know the fatty foods are always close-by for me with nuts and dreid fruits plus avocado seems to be my heaven or addiction, you can take any pick!   laugh
However coconut cream I will enjoy adding so thank you. I watched just recently on how to open a baby coconut successfully without losing much juice from RP, thanks Jen!

Organic Girl thank you kindly too, I am currently going to the gym a few times a week keeping my blood flowing and it does keep me warm for a good while, but the blood flow to my hands and feet seem to be minimal later on! Could it be my energy flow, my chakra?? I am drinking around the 2 1/2 litre mark each day, but feel I could drink more during the day and not bundle most of it during the night! I guess the bonus from it is I may have low blood pressure yahh he he he

Thank you kindly Jen, that is incentive to continue strongly my march into 100% raw-territory! 17th day today and going strong with an abundance of love for this world. It feels great and absolutely amazing!

Thank you so much all of you and if I find any further clarity, I will be sure to post it for all.

Keep smilin'

You might want to try cayenne pepper. It's well-known for increasing blood-flow, especially to the peripheral areas of the body.

I love cayenne pepper so so so much.
Taking it once in the morning completely rids me of all of my allergy symptoms and gives me clear sinuses for the entire rest of the day.

Thanks a lot Boxcarguy07,

Your name makes me laugh  laugh

I too am a big fan of cayenne pepper and have it usually once a day, mainly for my meal at night. So hearing that if I have more is better than I'm a happy gal! Morning too hey, good idea!!

I have the good ol' sinus hiccup too and the last time I popped into do some Bowen therapy I was told it usually has something to do with not letting go of something in the past properly? I never got it attended too as what I originally went there for got completely and magically cured, I should really go back!
Sorry I went off the rails from cold extremities to sinus there but all is good, and I appreciate your knowledge.

Enjoy life to it's fullest

Hi Salt Water,

I was just browsing through the net and read an article on Slow Breathing. The author of the article recommended slow breathing for many things and improving circulation to the extremities was just one of them. She also recommended yoga for breathing techniques.

You could be suffering raynauds disease. I have that which means you dont get enough circulation to fingers and feet. Green smoothies have helped this alot and it warms my body.
