Eat for Heat: The Metabolic Approach to Food and Drink

'Eat for Heat' is best described as a complementary concept that has yet to be discussed anywhere in the world of health, diet, and nutrition. The book takes a close look at the modern habit of compulsive beverage consumption, mass prescriptions to "drink 8, 8-ounce glasses of water per day," phobias about salt and sugar, and turns them all upside down in classic 180DegreeHealth style. The objective? Increase the concentration of the extracellular fluid (the fluid in our bodies) for increased core body temperature (rise in metabolism), increased circulation to the extremities for warm hands and feet, and taking the burden off of the stress system for far-reaching health and hormonal improvements. The concept is extremely simple. The net sum of the food and beverages we consume can either concentrate or dilute our body fluids. 'Eat for Heat' discusses simple principles on how to make minor changes to your meals and drinking habits to keep your body in a better metabolic "zone" all day every day. It's a tactic that can be applied to any dietary belief system, and can even yield tremendous health benefits to those eating just a regular Western diet. Everyone can benefit from the simple concept put forth in Eat for Heat. In terms of specific benefits from mastering this idea, you can expect to... - Eliminate frequent urination and waking up at night to urinate - Overcome frequent headaches, migraines, and seizures - Increase body heat and body temperature to 98.6 degrees F and higher - Improve or eliminate anxiety completely, stabilizing mood - Sleep deeper and longer, waking feeling more rested - Enhance immunity and increase the speed of tissue renewal - Eradicate heart palpitations - Moisten your skin and hair, especially dry skin around the hands and lower legs and feet - Eliminate dry mouth and excessive thirst - Lower LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides - Increase sex hormone production like progesterone and testosterone - Be able to eat whatever you want, when you want, without gaining fat - Strengthen bones and teeth And more...

Matt Stone is the founder of 180DegreeHealth. He is an independent health researcher and author of more than 10 books, including multiple titles that have made it to #1 in their respective categories on Amazon. Most of his research has drawn him towards metabolic rate and how many basic functions (digestion, reproduction, aging, immunity, inflammation, mood, circulation, sleep) perform better when metabolic rate is optimized. He is most notable for his criticisms of extreme diets and exposing many false diet industry claims, as well as his works on raising metabolic rate through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. His views and findings are discussed exhaustively on the site and cataloged in many of Stone’s books available for sale through Amazon.
