The other day I was trying to explain to my uncles that living in a hot desert climate drinking ice coffee makes a lot of sense, but they weren’t convinced.
Maybe a point we’re not used to hot weather but there’s a thinking in the UK that hot drinks help trick your body into making a better effort to stay cool. Often attributed to the desert rats of ww2 excuse to drink tea.
I think that only works with hot foods that don’t actually raise your bodies temperature
It feels hot and it affects circulation and stuff. But the physical heating effect is pretty minuscule. If you think about it, a human is more or less like 75kg of water at 36 degrees celsius, if you add 0.25kg of water at 50 degrees celsius (cup of tea) you end up with a body of 75.25kg at 36.05 degrees celsius.
