5 Eco-Friendly Ways to Keep Cool

3. Eat Spicy Food

Turn on your body’s own evaporative cooler by forcing an increase in perspiration. Once your amply moist body hits a fan’s breeze or air conditioning, the body feels cooler instantly and maintained perspiration will keep the body cooler. Spicy foods also increase blood circulation with aids in effectively cooling the core temperature. It needn’t be a fiery hot meal, an iced chai or ginger tea has a similar though more mild effect as New Mexican chili.
