Thanks to everyone who responded to my hot drinks query. I appreciate
all your good information and tips. Actually, I’ve been down with a
very nasty cold since last Sunday. I was able to use some of the
ideas I learned in the list.
Today, I told my physician about this diet and that so far I’ve lost
12 pounds, feel very calm and have no cravings or heartburn. He was
totally supportive. I thought that I must be hallucinating all his
nodding and agreement. He’s keeping a watch over my blood pressure
which is also coming down. It’s nice having a doc who is more of a
partner.

Yogi Tea brand Green Tea and Ginger Tea. Yogi is “organic” and very
tasty. I haven’t tried their other flavors. I switched from Celestial
Seasonings when I found it wasn’t “organic”.

I cook chicken and beef in a slow cooker. The broth from this is real
good, especially in cooler weather.
I drink warm water first thing in the morning. It’s good for the
liver, and seems to stimulate the bowels.
It’s always best to drink warm or hot liquids - never cold fluids or
cold foods. Keep the tummy nice and warm to maximize digestion.
Cold stuff tends to have a numbing effect on the system.

< Coffee-like drinks:
Raja’s Cup (the drip kind you make in the coffee maker, not the tea bags)
roasted dandelion root tea
Other herbal teas:
Pompadour rose hips and hibiscus
any berry-type tea with ginger root tea mixed in for extra zing
rooibos tea (red tea - yes it’s without caffeine)
And, of course, green tea
