I have the 150 mcg tablets and so far my temp has never budged. I think I could have gotten completely stressed over it if I had let myself, but when I still managed to get spurts of growth here and there with it low, I relaxed a bit.
I don't think I would feel comfortable taking as much as the study was giving their patients, but they did an excellent of putting a lot of information into such a nice concise package that could be understood in a better way to grasp the how's and why's iodine can be used for body temperature and I like having numbers to see, such as knowing that this helped half the study group, ect.
I've been kicking around moving my kelp up to 300 mcg to see if that changes anything, which is why I've been digging again for information. Oddly, since I have put so much pressure on the BO this month so I can move on to add noogling, it seems that I'm not having my normal signs that BO is doing anything for me. It's really weird. I have no tingles or tenderness so far this cycle.
I have kicked up my intake of cayenne this past week to see if that will help as well, even if it doesn't, cayenne has so many other benefits that it can only be a plus. I wasn't aware that cayenne is also being used for arthritis pain especially immune related arthritis. I can honestly say that after a week of taking 1 capsule 3 times a day I noticed less pain in my joints, which is what prompted me to look up it's other benefits to see if it was used as a pain reliever or a inflammation reliever. It turns out it has a long history of being used for both, so bonus there!
I've also been doing a little research on the thermogenic diet. for those that are not familiar with it, it's a diet that raises the body temperature in order to increase metabolism. As crazy as it sounds, the heat production process is one of the main components that make up the metabolism. There is a whole list of food and herbs that have termogenic qualities that are suggested to be used in these diets.
Here's a small sample of the most common thermogenic foods, drinks, and herbs.
1. Protein rich foods increase your metabolism by 30%, carbs only increase it 4%.
2. Salmon & Tuna: Researchers idetermined that eating meals of these items would increase weight loss by 22 % compared to someone skipping out of them. And lets not forget those awesome Omega 3's you get also from them, so big bonus there. 3. Celery burns far more calories than it provides. weird but true!
4. Hot Peppers. I think we all know how those work since they are a fav on the NBE boards! Lets just go ahead and give them a big "LOVE' em" stamp
5. Drinks: Ice Water. this one sounds weird, but if you drink iced water instead of room temp water, you body HAS to heat it up, so it kicks up the temp. Will you see a big result from this? no, but it is a documented process called water induced thermogenisis, and we know that every litle bit helps! Green Tea and Coffee both have thermogenisis effects. I would like to add that any hot beverage can indeed raise your core temp. nothing fancy about that process though. I like nothing better than to sit down with a big cup of hot coacoa and by the time I'm done with it, I will break out into a sweat. would I do that often for the temp effect. NO, way way too much sugar to make it worth it, but just wanted to point out what taking heat into the body can do.
6 Spices and herbs: Cayenne Pepper, Mustards & Chili Sauce, Parsley, and Salsa. Apple Cider Vinegar, Cinnamon (which is supposed to be one of the higherresult thermogenic spices you can use), Celery Seed, Fennel Seed, Garlic, Ginger.
So, I would think we could try an number of these combinations not with the intent of weight loss, but with the intent of just adding them into our every day eating habits and might be able to see a result in body temp to help out with natural brest enhancement. Heck, adding these type of things in at the least would be the most normal thing some of us have tried. LOL
So, as you can see, lots of research, but not much in the action department yet. LOL, I really like to have 100% of the info before I change anything with my body. Call it the control freak side of me kicking in, but I'm nothing if not thorough!
I think it may be time to start using a little of this info I've gathered and see what comes of it. That is the next step most times for people after investing that much time and energy into research, I just have to get off my butt and do it. LOL
