Ginger¹ gets its spicy² flavor and thermogenic quality from its combination of two pungent³ compounds: gingerol and shogaol. Many swear by it for relief from headaches and digestive troubles, but the gnarled ginger root is also great for warming the body up on a cold day. For extra warmth, try a cup of ginger tea or treat yourself to a handful of crystallized ginger, nature’s candy with a kick.

Coconut⁴ Oil

椰子油

Coconut oil definitely isn’t a low-fat food (one tablespoon contains 117 calories and 13.6 grams of fat), but its “medium chain” fatty acids are touted⁵ for a long list of health benefits, including increased immunity⁶, speedier healing and—remarkably—weight loss. Add thermogenic properties to coconut oil’sperks and you’ve got yourself one powerful salad topper.

Green Tea

绿茶

Thanks to its high level of caffeine, a steamy mug of green tea will pick you up as it warms you up. Along with the antioxidant flavonoids called “catechins,” it’s the caffeine that also gives it thermogenic properties. To give your body temperature a boost at mealtime, try recipes that feature green tea in the ingredients.
