Move over, modern medicine! Rachael Ray is officially trading her EVOO for an icy bunch of kale, claiming that the secret to surviving the change of life is just eating a rainbow. While the rest of us are standing in front of an open freezer crying, Rachael is apparently just munching on a bell pepper and feeling totally chill. It’s giving 'salad is the new air conditioning,' and we are sweating just thinking about it. She’s teamed up with a doctor to drop over 50 recipes, essentially suggesting that if your hormones are throwing a rave, you should just throw some broccoli at them. Forget the fans and the cooling pillows; just grab a leek and hope for the best. It’s a bold strategy for someone who spent years telling us that 30 minutes was all we needed for dinner—now she’s saying 30 grams of fiber is all we need to stop the spontaneous combustion. Honestly, if eating a carrot could stop the night sweats, we’d all be walking around looking like Bugs Bunny. But until we see a head of cabbage actually lower a room's temperature, we’ll probably keep the AC on blast while we snack. Rachael’s 'eat your colors' mantra is cute, but we’re mostly just seeing red until the fan starts working again.
