    It may seem counterintuitive to eat spicy foods th It may seem counterintuitive to eat spicy foods that make you sweat during the hot summer months. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Capsaicin is the chemical compound in chili peppers that makes your tongue feel like it’s on fire. When we eat hot and spicy foods, they actually warm up our stomach and core making us feel hotter, which causes us to sweat. They also work on heat receptors in the skin telling the body to produce sweat. Sweat on the skin then evaporates leaving you cooler than before you ate that spicy burrito. Unfortunately, this works best in states that aren’t extremely humid since the humidity won’t evaporate the sweat, leaving it to sit on the surface of the skin.

To help kids hydrate in the hot months, change things up with how you get fluid, electrolytes and nutrients into your kids.
