Question:

Will wearing a sweatshirt to bed falsely raise my basal body temperature?

I have been charting for some timeI was cold last night so I wore a sweatshirt to bed instead of just a t-shirtMy BBT was .5 degrees higher than the previous dayI am in my luteal phase so I'm hoping this is my actual temperature, but I'm concerned the jump was due to the extra layer of clothingAny thoughts? Thanks!

Answer:

Soluble fiber is found in varying quantities in all plant foods, including: legumes (peas, soybeans, and other beans) oats, rye, chia, and barley some fruits and fruit juices (particularly prune juice, plums and berries) certain vegetables such as broccoli and carrots root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions (skins of these vegetables are sources of insoluble fiber) psyllium seed husk (a mucilage soluble fiber)Legumes also typically contain shorter-chain carbohydrates indigestible by the human digestive tract but are metabolized by bacterial fermentation in the large intestine (colon), yielding short-chain fatty acids and gases (flatulence)Sources of insoluble fiber include: whole grain foods bran nuts and seeds vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini, and celery the skins of some fruits, including tomatoes The five most fiber-rich plant foods, according to the Micronutrient Center of the Linus Pauling Institute, are legumes (15-19 grams of fiber per US cup serving, including several types of beans, lentils and peas), wheat bran (17 grams per cup), prunes (12 grams), Asian pear (10 grams each) (3.6% by weight), and quinoa (9 grams).
For starters, yo.um, er.get yourself some Frosted Mini Wheats and eat two bowls every morning, GFor snacks, you could fashizzle some apple-izzles which are high in fiber.
most whole grain cereals contain a lot of fiber
Yes, wearing heavier clothes than usual, using more blankets than usual, using an electric blanket, turning up the heat in your room, or even sleeping later than usual all can change your basal body tempBut keep on charting anyway (just note the warmer sweatshirt in your notes) and if the temp keeps going up (and you don't add keep adding more clothes), then it could be a promising sign! good luck!
