It triggers our body's internal heat receptors, which causes you to sweat more.

And it's that sweat that evaporates off your skin that creates the natural cooling effect.

And there's also some ancient Ayurvedic wisdom

there when it comes to tea as well so they actually believe that if you do the opposite if you have cold drinks when you're hot it can actually shock the digestive system and that dampens your internal fire making it harder to process food in heat so it's really interesting when you look at temperature of foods and where things come from i love that one but i would still do a cold drink

My best advice is to get a piece of fruit in instead of taking a supplement of vitamin C, which you're likely to just excrete.

Because actually, you'll get more benefit from the vitamin C coming from food form than pill form.

So when you're feeling run down, just try and have an extra piece of fruit each day.

And that's really going to help shorten the length of your cold, hopefully.

I love this.

It's just because it's such a classic saying.

Apples, of course, vitamin C rich, they contain pectin, that's amazing soluble fiber.

I would say we want you to eat the skin here and all the research that's ever really produced on apples because a lot of the key polyphenols live and reside nearer the skin barrier.

And you really want to be eating that because I know some people peel

Peel your apples.

But one study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found healthy middle-aged adults who ate two apples a day, so not just an apple, two, for eight weeks reduced their cholesterol levels, while apple juice, which lacks the fiber, had no effect.

So they were comparing juice to eating the whole apple.

Of course, you get the fiber from the apple, less of a blood sugar impact there as well, Ella.

Exactly that.

I love a pear.

Can I just say, I love a juicy pear.
