We Filipinos,but not all, beatteh heat with a hot cup of coffee!
You find it funny, right?
Peopple find it funny that there were memes about it running on facebook. Here, I grabbed one for you
It may be funny but it's true.
You may never seen anyone having shot cup of coffee but for me, I had a mug of it.
I am a coffee addict and I find it soothing creamer or none.
I know that probably the majority of the entries in this contest might be ice cream, halo-halo, crushed ice, and whatever cold food they might add. ODn't get me wrong, I do have cold food to quench my thirst too but I'm a poor man, and I can't afford cold food always.
Thus a hot cup of coffee is a go-to for me.
It may be hard to believe but there's a science on how a hot drink will cool you down on a hot day.
Here goes:
Our body has a normal temperature of 36-37 degrees Celsius and when the temperature in t eh environment is lower than our body temp, that is when we feel cold. But when the temperature rises, or above our body temp, that is when we feel hot.
When we feel hot, we start to sweat and perspire; that is what the hot cup of coffee is for. The body had its defense against the hot temperature and sweat does not just indicate hot surroundings but its main purpose was to we the body and make it feel cooler. That may be why we think of dipping in a pool in Summer. Do you agree?
Feel free to try it on a summer day!
