Question: Is there a way to make myself withstand hotter foods!?
I would to know because my whole family is Mexican, and they tend to eat lots of spicy foods, is there a way to tolerate it better(if that makes any sense)!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
-Eat foods with a spice level you can tolerate, and gradually introduce yourself to hotter foods to build up tolerance

-If you are eating extremely spicy food, drinking milk helps numb the spicyness!. Contrary to popular belief, drinking water does not do this!. All it does is spread around the spice so it only makes it worse!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do what I did!. I'm also Mexican like you and I understand you!. Basically, start at level 1 or what you and your family consider level 1!. You will most definetely like the spices!. Then keep moving up the ladder and your taste buds will become most accustomed to different types of spicy food!. I hope this works! I did for me!.

don't drink water it won't make it better!. the milk and bread is your best bet!. when we make something too spicy for our children to eat we add milk or cheese to it and it calms it down enough for them to eat!. and yes you will get a taste for hotter foods once you start eating them more often!. you could also ask whom ever is cooking to lighten up on the spice, they could add more spice once the food is on their plate!. good luck with the spiceWww@FoodAQ@Com

tolerate it how!? If it's your taste buds a slow increae in the amount of spice and heat works!. If the heat spices bother your stomach, you may never be able to handle an incress!. Milk will help to coat your stomach and also put out some of the heat!. Thats why a lot of people have blue cheese or ranch salad dressing and celery along with hot wings the milk in the dressing ease the heat!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Many times this is just a tolerance thing!. You can build it up, but it may take some time!.
With mexican foods, beer can help take out alot of the heat of Jalapenos but make Habeneros hotter!. If you can't drink beer, tortillas can help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Being able to eat spicy foods is a art!. You have to start off with a little at a time, but try to eat something spicy every day!. After a while your ability to tolerate spicy foods will increase!. I love spicy food!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say to try and eat spicier foods every time you eat, gradually!. I wouldn't try to go from not eating spicy foods to extremely hot foods!. Let your taste buds get used to the feeling, then move forward!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

like the person before me said!. eat ilk and bread and maybe have something a little spicy and then each day get something just a little bit spicer until you can tolerate spicer foods Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just Drink Milk whenever you eat spicy foods, and start off with milder spicy foods and gradually try spicier!. just make sure you dont drink pop with spicy food because it makes it even hotter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try using non-spicy dips to go along with whatever foods you can, such as sour cream!. also like the first answerer said, bread and milk!. Drinking water makes things spicier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you grow into it


try a little bit at a time

try delicious jalapenos on flour tortilla with sour cream!. Spicy and soothing!.

I didn't get into the spicy stuff until I hit adulthood!. Now I cantz get me enough!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wrap it in your tortillas so it never touches you tongue and you won't look like the biggest wuss in the family!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need to work up to it!. Start with small amounts of chilli and work up!. The tongue gets accustomed to the chemical in chillies: called capsacin!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
