People that suffer from excessive sweating are often surprised when I tell them that it is often our diet that contributes to this effect. They always assume it was genetics and they were just born that way. That could be the reason, but that doesn’t mean we can’t control it. Here are some common questions I’m asked.

Do spicy foods make you excessively sweat?

Unfortunately they do. If you’re a big fan of the spicy foods, than you might feel a little bad about eliminating them, but they have a large effect on us. First they are just hot to our senses, they burn up our mouth and make our face sweat. They also speed up the metabolism, which results in your body producing more heat, therefore we sweat.
