Do not drink water.. A recipe for extinguishing the fire of spicy foods

German nutritionist Caroline Hall said that the fire of spicy foods can be extinguished by drinking milk or eating yogurt, not by drinking water.

She explained that foods containing fats or proteins can mitigate the spicy taste;

Because the “capsaicin” substance responsible for that taste in some foods (such as hot peppers) is fat-soluble.

On the other hand, the German nutritionist recommended avoiding spicy foods if the stomach and intestines are sensitive.

Because it may cause irritation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach and intestines, causing stomach pain or diarrhea.
