RICH'S LIFE HACKS: SPICY FOOD HACK 

LIFE HACKS 

HOT DAY.. SPICEY FOOD HACK 

It sounds counterintuitive, but eating something spicy (like a ghost pepper wing or extra hot salsa) can actually cool you down faster than a cold drink. 

The Hook: Scientists call it "gustatory facial sweating".

The Hack: Eating spicy food raises your internal temperature briefly, triggering your body to sweat more efficiently. 

As that sweat evaporates in the dry Arizona air, it turns you into a "human swamp cooler," dropping your core temp lower than if you’d just had an iced coffee.
