Very interesting, Lana. You raise the larger question of how food affects temperature. You mention eggs => cholesterol => hormones.

I've noticed that fats, in general, seem to affect body temperature. On the other hand, low calorie eating seems to result in lower body temperatures.

I think it is important to point out that cholesterol is the precursor to most hormones, and being deficient in it can cause body temperatures to drop. When I first got ill, everyone thought it was thyroid. Turns out all I needed was more eggs.-Lana

Thyroid hormone increases.

Progesterone increases.

Estrogen

Adrenaline increases.

DHEA increases

Oxytocin increases.

Cortisol stabilizes.

Muscle movement increases.

On the coconut oil open forum it has been said that adding coconut oil

to diet can raise body temperature, and stop people from having night

sweats. People seem to believe that coconut oil can help boost

thyroid production, but I have never seen referfences to scholarly

journals to suppot that supposition.
