rajma is hot or cold for body - #27639

Keya

I am kinda confused about rajma and its effects on my body. I’ve been eating it regularly 'cause I love it, but my grandma always said that rajma is hot for the body. Like, she’s adamant that it can raise your body temperature or something? The other day, I felt kinda warm after having some rajma, but then I thought, maybe it was just the spices? We made it with a lot of garlic and chilies, and I’m not used to spicy food. My friends say rajma is good for digestion and all that, but now I’m wondering if mixing it with spicy stuff makes it even hotter. I really wanna know if rajma is hot or cold for body in general. I mean, is it okay to eat on a regular basis, or should I balance it out with something else? Also, should I avoid making it too spicy? I had this weird wakeup night with a mild stomach ache after I smashed a big plate the night before—could that’ve been the rajma or just my cooking? I like cooking with it, but if rajma is actually hot for body, I might need to rethink my meal plans. Anyone else deal with this or have tips?

Doctors' responses

Rajma, or kidney beans, is a nutritious food and generally not considered to have an inherent “hot” or “cold” effect on the body from a modern medical perspective. The concept of foods being hot or cold comes largely from traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, where it’s thought some foods might influence the body’s energy balance. However, in evidence-based medicine, we look more at the nutritional and physiological effects foods have. Kidney beans are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them beneficial for digestion, maintaining energy levels, and providing essential nutrients. If you’re experiencing warmth after eating it, it’s more likely from the spices used in your preparation, like garlic and chilies, rather than the beans themselves. Spiciness can increase body temperature temporarily, and if you’re not used to spicy food, it might be causing discomfort or a mild stomach upset, as you’ve experienced.

For regular consumption, kidney beans are generally safe and healthy unless you have a specific allergy or intolerance. To make it more comfortable for you, consider adjusting the amount of spicy ingredients in your recipes. Sometimes, gastrointestinal discomfort might be due to the fiber content of rajma if consumed in large quantities, especially if your diet isn’t already high in fiber. Drinking plenty of water and starting with smaller portions could help your digestion adjust. If stomach upset continues, take note of any other ingredients used. Meanwhile, balance it with foods you’re familiar and comfortable with, possibly reducing the spices or pairing with cooling foods like yogurt. If symptoms persist, particularly any significant pain or recurring stomach issues, discussing with a healthcare provider might help to rule out any underlying causes or food sensitivities.
