How can I train myself to eat spicy food?
I'm a malaysian in malaysia, where half the food at half the time is spicy... i have tried spicy food but what usually follows is perpetual sweating,burned tongue,tonnes of embarassment and endless tissue wiping and water drinking.
So is there any possible way i can train myself to getting used to having spicy food? Thanks.
:D
Answers: Start with eating the less spicy food regularly the more you eat it, the more you will get used to it.. then switch to the spicier stuff and you will get used to that too...
the sweating is common...
oh and a tip, don't drink too much water.. just eat plain white rice.. it takes most of the sting out... THEN drink water... just keep eating it. you'll build up a tolerance. Definitely. The key is to start off SLOWLY, with only foods that are mildly spicy. Over time as you can tolerate mild, then graduate to a little spicier, then increase the heat level to what you can tolerate. Do not get too hot with the food to start off with, or it will turn you off from even wanting spicy food. the best way is to eat spicy food all the time. You can train yourself to get used to eating spicy food by eating it regularly but sorry to say, it might not stop the perpetual sweating and endless tissue wiping. My husband loves spicy food, eats it all the time and have been eating them since childhood but he still drips sweat everytime he eats them. Start with less spicy and continue with more spices and it will get you in the habit of easily eating spicy food without even thinking about it.
Some spices cure the cancers and more research is under way. do you really want to do this. I myself don't care for spicy food., mostly because anything that just burns and is uncomfortable to the palate is not for me. You say half the food is spicy, so just eat the other half, really I'm not trying to be funny. I love Mexican food but I always ask for mild sauce. So don't be embarrassed. Just ask what is the least spicy on menu.
