Seasonal Healing Rhythms. Summer Foods: Nature's Air Conditioning System
🌞 Episode 2 of Seasonal Healing Rhythms is here!
Join hosts Meera and Ashok Vasudevan as they explore "Summer Foods: Nature's Air Conditioning System" - how Asian and tropical cultures mastered internal cooling through food science, long before electricity existed.
Why Summer Foods Cool You Down: Traditional medicine systems from Ayurveda to Traditional Chinese Medicine classified foods by their thermal properties. These aren't just theories - modern science validates how certain foods actually lower core body temperature through specific biochemical mechanisms.
