On cold winter days, there's nothing more welcome than a hot drink and food to warm you up. When temperatures drop below zero and you need to stay focused throughout the workday, here's what you should consume.
Ginger
Not only is ginger a healthy food, it also warms up our bodies, speeds up metabolism and blood flow. Ginger tea is great for waking up and getting moving when you're cold.
Sweet potato
Sweet potatoes, along with other root vegetables, are cooked for a long time and thus provide energy, which results in heat in the body. In addition, they contain vitamins A and C and potassium, and are also good for vision.
Oatmeal
To warm you up in the morning, start your day with oatmeal or a similar type of breakfast that includes a grain ingredient. The fiber contained in oats and other grains improves cholesterol levels and keeps you full.
Sesame
Sesame seeds are rich in iron and calcium, which strengthen bones and muscles. You can add them to a dish or make sweet sesame balls.
Dried fruit
Dried fruits such as almonds, raisins, figs, pistachios, and cashews are also great for warming the body in winter, and they also help with anemia and other diseases related to vitamin deficiency.
Eggs
Not only are they nutritious and a great way to start the day, due to their protein and vitamin content, eggs also help with infections that occur in winter. You can't go wrong if you try to warm up with this food.
