Organic food is pretty popular these days. Tons of people like to drink juice in the morning to gain nutrients and clear out unwanted waste in the body. However, the general public ignores a significant point as far as drinking juice is concerned. The point is that human bodies tend to favor warm environment. When your body is warm, blood circulation is regular. Hence, in blood vessels, the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and unwanted waste would be effortless. Consequently, when you eat breakfast, avoid drinking cold coffee or milk, icy juice, or cold black tea. You might not sense any physical discomfort at first. As a matter of fact, cold drink intake at breakfast will weaken your health. Why is that?
When you eat warm or hot food at breakfast, it protects “stomach chi”. In Chinese medicine, the definition of stomach chi is broad. It does not solely refer to stomach as an organ alone. Stomach chi also includes digestion of stomach and spleen, its absorption, immunity, muscle function and so on. In the morning, the“yin”chi from nighttime does not yet subside and temperature of the mother earth has not risen to average. During this time of the day, muscles, nerves and blood vessels are still not their normal sizes. Thus, if you have cold drink or cold food intake, it might jam your blood circulation, disturb natural function of the body system. You might not discern the ill effects in the beginning though. With the passage of time or when you get older, you might discover, for some odd reason, that you couldn’t absorb the essence of your diet, you might constantly have loose bowels, and your skin quality deteriorates. You might even catch a cold easily, appear to have mucus in the throat, or simply seem to feel under the weather most of the time.
As a result, it is suggested that we eat hot porridge, oat meal, drink goat milk, soybean dessert (To-Hua), soybean milk, or hot sesame drink in the morning. Then, you can also add some vegetables, bread, sandwich, light dessert to your morning diet as well. I don’t recommend drinking cow’s milk here to a specific group indicated in the following for some limited reasons. It is because cow’s milk is not suitable for people who have sensitive bowels, stomach, or skin. Cow’s milk is not ideal for people who live in the humid climate either.
