should you drink something hot when your hot
It's called the TRPV1 receptor, if anyone wants to know. So when you eat or drink something hot, these receptors get that heat signal, and that tells the nerve to let the brain know what's going on. When the brain gets the message It's hot in here, it turns on the mechanism we have to cool ourselves off: sweating. Yes, the hot drink makes you hotter ... but it does something else, too. The hot drink somehow has an effect on your systemic cooling mechanisms, which exceeds its actual effect in terms of heating your body, says McNaughton. One other interesting thing.
