Body temperature 15 degrees after 34.5 years of raw food

 
I often touch my hands and feet in the inspection method, but there are many people who have cold extremities such as limbs as well as the body.
 The other day, he came to me for advice because he was not feeling well.15He said he had been eating raw food for nearly a year.
 Vegetables have a lot of potassium, and potassium works to excrete sodium in the body, that is, salt.
Sodium has a contractile effect, constricting blood vessels and pores to keep heat from escaping from the body.
If you continue to eat potassium-rich raw vegetables without proper salt intake, your blood vessels will dilate, your blood pressure will drop, and your pores will expand, allowing air, or heat, to continue to escape.It's natural to be cold.

Humans evolved by cooking with fire

 At times like this I say:
 “Vegetables have hard cell walls and take time to be digested and absorbed. Horses, sheep, and cows that eat grass with a poor absorption rate have to eat all day for this reason.
 We humans are even worse.It's weak and can't even win against monkeys that nimbly roam the trees.
They have a weaker sense of smell than dogs and are slow runners.Eyes are no match for birds.
When we were apes, we were running away from these other animals and finally got food.
 However, when I learned that I could find and eat grains, beans, and wild plants that had been burned by forest fires, things changed completely.
I noticed that the taste is better when it goes through the fire.Not only that, but you don't have to worry about parasites.
In those days, many people died from parasites.
 Also, since they are eating the leftovers of other animals, they were prone to food poisoning and infectious diseases, but by cooking them, that worry is greatly reduced.
They also learn to bring back delicious rice, barley, and wild grass (vegetable) seeds and grow them.
 It is said that the use of fire to cook food has improved the energy efficiency of digestion and absorption, and along with this, the intestines have become shorter than when they were eating raw food, and in exchange, the brain has developed. .
 In other words, it is said that humans evolved from monkeys (anthropoids) because they started cooking with fire.
 When it's hot in the summer, it's okay to eat raw food to cool the body, but usually it's better to eat it cooked."

Foods that cool the body are recommended in the United States, where meat is consumed excessively

 Maybe it's because my body, including my hands and feet, is cold.Hot springs are very popular among young women.
As we get older, our bodies get colder, but why do young people, who are supposed to have a high body temperature, get cold?
 Recently, it has become possible to eat more imported fruits than domestic fruits.
The figure below shows the "designer foods" presented by the National Cancer Institute.You are saying that eating these foods is good for your health.
Except for the garlic and ginger above, they all cool the body!
 America's meat consumption is higher than Japan's10It is said to double.Meat heats up the body, which is why Americans recommend this type of cooling as good for their health.
 “In a survey of raw food practitioners,45of women under the age of30% were found to be prone to amenorrhea” (from Wikipedia).
 In other words, I think one of the causes of infertility is in the cold of the body.


Vegetables that are said to be effective in preventing cancer are arranged in a pyramid shape,
It is said that the higher the level, the higher the cancer-suppressing effect.

A vitamin that is not destroyed by heatC
 
vitaminC isMany people think that they are vulnerable to heat, but apparently that is not the case.
 As mentioned above, herbivorous animals such as cows and horses have microorganisms in their intestines that destroy the cell walls of grasses, but humans do not.
Therefore, it is said that it is best to boil vegetables and heat them as a soup before eating.
vitaminCIt was found that the rate of disappearance due to heating was smaller than expected.
 In addition, adzuki beans contain provitamins.CAfter entering the body, vitaminCto work better.
 As you know, red beans are heated and eaten, but provitaminCwill never break.You don't have to stick to raw fruits and vegetables.
 In Japanese cuisine, simmered vegetables are often eaten, and there was no problem with that.
