Common conclusions
If you've been spending a lot of time in hot and humid weather where you are directly exposed to sunlight, your body temperature will be high. This is because your body is unable to stave off the heat by sweating alone. Another possible cause is dehydration because your body has expended its water resources by sweating to keep your skin cool and you have to take in some water to allow your body to cool down.
Some foods are known to increase body heat. Typically, caffeine, spicy foods, and some nuts and other high-protein foods increase body heat. Foods that are rich in protein need more energy from the body to digest and this is why they also take longer, and in the process, your body's heat index goes up.
The good news is you can bring down your body's heat with the right actions. First off, a cold water bath will reduce your body's heat instantly. Even if you don't have a complete bath, soaking your feet in ice-cold water can bring down the heat right away. Another option is to tie a bag of ice to your forehead to bring down the heat stress.
There are many foods that cool your body instantly. If you live in a tropical area, drinking water from a freshly-cut coconut is a great way to bring down your body's heat stress right away. Peppermint is also known to cool your body as it contains methanol that gives a cool sensation. Eating hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables also helps.
Keep them handy especially if you live or work in a hot and humid place.
