A cooling trick for MS whenever you get overheated...


I live in Texas. This summer we have pretty much had three months of consistently over 95 degree days. This is no good for a person with multiple sclerosis. The hot weather has really stopped me from doing things this year.


But what I am also noticing is that I get overheated throughout the day regardless of whether or not I am in the heat. Again this does not bode well if you have multiple sclerosis. It dramatically reduces my mobility or desire to do things.

I happened on a neat little trick that keeps me shivering so that I am chilly without boosting the air conditioning.


In an effort to be healthy and eliminate some toxins (which are all good things in fighting multiple sclerosis), I started drinking more vegetable fruit juice (I mix 85% vegetable juice with about 15% fruit juice). Of course, this made me feel really good and clear-headed when I drank the mixture. These are pure blessings when you have multiple sclerosis.

But what I also noticed is that I started feeling really cold -- in the middle of summer in Texas. Now, every morning I drink the juice with my fiber and probiotics and the days are so much easier on my body. Apparently this has to do with your body not generating so much heat to digest the food you eat. That is also why I won't be able to juice in the winter -- I'll get too cold.

I hope this helps you stay cool...
