Drink Tea to Cool
I don’t normally rubbish the claims of tea but this was a juicy urban myth I felt okay toruncing. You may have heard the old wives tale of drinking a hot cup of tea to cool down?
Well its not true!!
The idea behind it was that when you driunk the hot tea you’ll sweat and that will cool you. Now while its true that may happen that’s no guaruntee you’ll cool your body down. As your body has a very determined internal temperature that varies very, very little. It’d take a whole lot more than a cup of tea to cool you or heat you significantly. That sweating and flushing you may get will only be enough to cool you to the level you’re at – keeping you static in the long run.
Urban myth exploded!!
If you’re hot – open a window!
