Good food for the weather

I'm working in a tropical country, a work mate of mine told me that if it's cold here, I should also eat something cold to help me feel warm. Is this true? Or just hear say?

 

Last year I was on a mostly raw foods diet, and through the summer it was great, but in winter I froze. So for me it didn't work

 

It doesn't work for me either.

I love chili, soups, broths, and very hot food during the winter.

 

I love cooked, hot food in the winter, and icy food in the summer.

 

Thanks guys. I've tried it and it's still cold alright.
