staying warm
There are only two times that I am warm. 1. When I spend most of my time outdoors and acclimate to the temperature (but that is only in the warm weather - I am still cold most of the time inside) and 2. When I am 100% raw. In New York City I went from being the coldest person on the planet to perfectly comfortable all the time when completely raw. If I am 90% raw I'm still always freezing. Even 99%. When I am completely raw I believe then my body stops having to waste all it's energy and heat digesting. I think this is the case because I am the coldest after eating cooked food.
About tea. Tea is great. You can drink it warm instead of hot if you are worrried about overheating your throat for some reason (whatever that would be?) Warming teas have been essential to my staying raw for any amount of time at all because I run so cold. Both Agave and lemon are cooling so I wouldn't suggest drinking that to stay warm. Hibiscus (which is in a lot of herb tea mixes) is also extremely cooling. The best warming tea I've found is ginger. Another great warmer is miso broth. Just as easy as tea to make and so good. Mildly warmed raw soups are also wonderful. Cayenne sprinkled on food is also great.
