According to Traditional Chinese Medicine foods that produce HEAT are considered YANG foods and foods that are COLD are YIN in nature. The heating and cooling effect of foods refer to their capacities to generate either hot or cold sensations in the body. Yin foods moisten the body and are generally low in calories and rich in potassium. Yang foods warm the body and can be drying. They are higher in calories and sodium. Below are a list of cooling foods and the chakra it nourishes.

This was facinating, traveling up the food color wheel along the chakras. I look forward to trying this.
