As the weather turns hotter, one may feel the urge to consume something cool. There is sound evidence to suggest that eating spicy food can help you cool down. The secret? Sweat. Chili peppers contain a chemical called capsaicin, which triggers the sensation of heat. The “burn” that you feel in your mouth form eating spicy food is followed by a warming sensation throughout the rest of your body, causing you to sweat. Sweating is one of the primary methods the human body has to regulate its temperature; specifically, it’s the evaporation of sweat that removes heat from your body. However, this form of cooling off isn’t particularly useful unless your tongue can enjoy the burning feeling created from the heat of the spices. There’s no easy trick to tolerating spicy food other than practice. You can start by only adding small doses of spices to your normal meals. When your taste buds become accustomed to these small measures of seasoning, bring it up a notch. Try adding seeded, chopped chilies to your meals. A great tip to tame the flame of that spicy pain is to accompany spicy food with dairy products.
