1. Cocktails and refrigerators
By definition, a cocktail is a non-alcoholic refreshing, fruit or fruit-milk beverage with additives. Most often this term refers to a drink made by mixing fruit with a soft drink milk, yogurt, kefir. Mixed fruit mixed with juice or water is a smoothie. A refrigerant is simply a soup served cold (at a maximum temperature of 14°C).2. Cold food and body temperature
In the B.H. Newman and C.A. Martin study, 10 volunteers measured their oral temperature after drinking hot and cold beverages. The hot beverage caused a transient increase in temperature, while the cold caused a decrease. Further measurements were made after 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes. In most participants, the temperature returned to baseline after 10 minutes. Therefore, consuming cold drinks and meals on hot days can be more pleasurable than a temporary cooling effect.3. Paradox of capsaicin
Contrary to popular belief, spicy food can be tested on hot days, because capsaicin, which is responsible for spicy taste, peppers, etc., stimulates receptors that are sensitive, for example, at high temperatures, so if we eat spicy, we can experience the feeling of steaming, and then the body's natural response is increased sweating, which gives a cooling effect.4.
