Warm cooked foods are easiest for our body’s to digest, so we are getting a nourishment boost even before we put the food in our mouth. In our belly, we have a digestive fire, agni. We put food on that fire and digestion begins. When we put in cooked foods, our fire can more easily digest the food for nourishment. Think of putting cold or raw foods as similar to putting wet or dense logs on a small campfire, those logs may not burn completely and may even douse our fire.
Eat cooked, warm foods
