  Ever had a spicy treat and have you wondered why are you profusely sweating after that??? Let's see...

  Spicy foods have a common component called as capsaicin. When capsaicin enters our body through spicy food, it gives false signals to the brain that causes a rise in temperature of the body.

  It is just like the fire alarm that rings even when someone lights a cigarette. As our body's temperature rises, our body sweats in order to cool down the body. 

  Thus we sweat while eating spicy food. Now dont hesitate to ask to switch on the AC during a spicy meal...
