My Experience confirms this. It can even happen, that I'm feeling a
slight Need for more Warmth before my evening Meal and this disappears
in Minutes after I have started eating, let's say an Avocado or the
first pieces of Macadamia Nuts.
Although I think this is still not yet healthy. One should have a
stable Body Temperature all the Day. But Things are still improving.

Or from eating very underripe Mangos. I watched it several times in
an Asian Shop and most Mangos in Asian Shops are underripe so it might
be a widespread Behavior. Can anyone confirm this?
