Body temperature..
Hi,
Dr Rosedale talks about body temperature in his book.
How do you recommend checking for this temperature & what is
the ideal (or good) temperature range?
I have read a few different references on the web, one being the
Broda Barnes method, where you measure underarm (armpit) temp for
10 mins first thing in the morning before rising. (From what i have
read, the axillary (armpit) temperature will be lower than the oral
temp).
Answer
Electronic pregnancy thermometers, the ones women use to see if
they are ovulating are actually one of the best ways to measure
body temperature and are relatively cheap around $10. The best
place to measure is under the tongue. Ideal basal temperature is
what you have when you first wake up in the morning, and on the
Rosedale diet should be upper 96's lower 97's. We have found that
when someone starts our diet, their basal temperature will go down
about 1-2 degrees Fahrenheit which is a great improvement.
