As the temperature keeps dropping and the nights are getting colder, it is just nice to feel warm on the inside. Of course, soup can do that for you, but if you want to try some new ways to keep warm, be on the lookout for these foods when you’re out and make them at home!
Turmeric is a yellow root that is dried and ground to be turned into a spice, as well as a key component to most curry powders. Using the fresh or dried form of this herb is great for keeping warm because it promotes blood circulation, thus keeping you warmer.
Just as turmeric allows for your blood to flow more freely throughout your body, ginger does the same thing. In a tea form, it is even more powerful because the hot water will keep your body hydrated and warm. You can find ginger tea in tea bags or simply use an inch of fresh ginger cut up and put into hot water.
Fresh peppers or a dried spice like chili or cayenne is great for keeping warm. The spiciness actually can make your body so warm that people sometimes sweat when they eat too much!
