| There's a great mystery surrounding the appeal of spicy food during the winter. Why would something that normally causes you to perspire, and therefore cool down, seemingly have the reverse effect when it's cold? Quite simple. Spicy foods cause the release of endorphins. These, in turn, stimulate blood flow near the surface of the skin. Since people generally dress warmly during the winter, this surface heat is kept at the surface by insulated clothing. You've essentially taken the body's internal heat, brought it to the surface, and kept it there. | |||||||||||||
