From Chinese medicine perspective, when a person is lacking in yang qi, he/she will have strong aversion to cold. Yang qi is like a heater inside the body and when it’s cold, your body would have to use up more fuel to keep warm. If you want to stay warm, it is important to protect your yang qi- wear enough layers, keep your head, neck, shoulders and knees warm. Try this vegetarian warming soup this weekend!
