Imagine if ONE SIMPLE HABIT could help:

• depression

• anxiety

• insomnia

• gas

• bloating

• promote healthy gut bacteria (say bye-bye to expensive probiotics)

• painful periods…

What is this all-powerful health hack? Is it a biohacking gadget? An expensive supplement? A new superfood??

NOPE!! This magic ONE THING is something that we all can access today. And it’s something that Chinese Medicine has been talking about for several millennia.

It is…warm food and drinks.

So simple, and yet so profound in it’s effects and benefits. And, so empowering – because each mouthful can move us towards ever-greater health.

A new study from the British Journal of Nutrition confirms what Chinese Medicine has known for well over 5,000 years.

In this episode, we look through the lens of Chinese Medicine to learn why this works, and how you can apply it for yourself.

Nourishing our spark of life – and our Spleens – with cooked and warm food and drink is a foundation for health*.

Our digestive tract is lined with muscles that help to process our food. We know that warming up our muscles can help them to work more efficiently – and that a cold, cramped and contracted muscle not only aches, but doesn’t deliver the same power.

Our digestions are no different!

Each time we choose something warmer than body temperature, we are protecting our Yang.

Another way that we can understand why choosing warm food and drinks is so deeply healing is by looking through the lens of structured water**

Certain wavelengths, like natural light and infrared, prompt the molecules in water to move and arrange themselves in a structured or coherent manner (I think that this explains why it feels so deeply nourishing to get sun on our skin!). Infrared wavelengths are easy to identify as they are present where there is heat! This is why moxa, infrared heat lamps and healing touch (all living beings emit infrared frequencies) can feel so great! And this is also why we abhor cold things, ice packs and ice baths in Chinese Medicine.

We can harness the power of infrared frequency to help structure our body water every time we choose to eat or drink something warm. Think of it as an instant power boost, delivered directly to our interior. Potent stuff! As we now know, the more organised and coherent our body water, the more Qi (charge or potential) it can hold, which means better vitality, function and health for body-mind-soul!

Listen in to learn how following the simple, proven principles of nourishing your spark of life, can support you in feeling vibrant, energised, radiant and clear.

* and because of this, it is one of the Foundation Rituals in my course, the Radiant Energy Reset – a real solution for those ready to ditch the fads & feel clear, energised and in control again. Backed by ancient wisdom, not wellness trends.

** everything that we do in Chinese Medicine is about bringing structure, coherence and charge to the water within us (we are roughly 99% water by molecular count)
