暑い時期に食べた方がいいものや、温暖化に合わせた食生活の変化について。
TIMEでこういう読みやすいネタあると嬉しいw
metabolism
意味 [U] [生物] (新陳) 代謝, 物質交代.
Living safely in consistently hot climates means staying hydrated, especially with chilled drinks or fruits. But there are other, more physiologically based—and even surprising—ways to make your diet more heat friendly. While the science behind diets, nutrition, and climate is still growing, changing global temperatures makes understanding the link between food and metabolism increasingly critical.

perspire
意味 (遠回しに) 汗をかく, 発汗する （sweat よりもかたい語） .
Your heart beats a little faster, you breathe a little harder, you start to perspire, and not just your mouth but your whole body can feel as if it’s on fire. And if you’re eating this dish and it’s above 90F outside, you’re really feeling the heat.

そうね、激辛食べたあとに汗がひくと寒気がするもんね。私はひかれるレベルの多汗なので、外食ではココイチ10辛レベル以上（程よい発汗と滝汗の分岐点）は避けるけど。
package
意味 一連のもの
“Cultures in these parts of the world have known this for thousands of years,” says Li. “Their culinary culture triggers a hard-wired system that opens your pores and releases heat from the body. You feel temporarily hotter but that’s part of the package of cooling down.”

こんな言い回しができるといいなあ。英語喋ろうって時にこういう使い方の「パッケージ」って出てこないよなー。
secrete
意味 [生理]…を分泌する.
Early data from animals also suggests that cinnamon can lower the stomach’s temperature by decreasing the amount of acid and enzymes secreted by cells, which can cool the body by as much as two degrees C. More conflicting data suggests that ingesting or smoking CBD could produce the same ‘flushed’ feeling and generate perspiration similar to the way spicy foods can, but more research is needed to verify this body-cooling effect..

シナモンといえばチャイなわけで、確かに暑い国ですな。
celsius
意味 摂氏 (の) (centigrade) ((略)C., c.)
Cutting back on daily calories can lower core body temperature, since when your body processes calories, it generates energy and heat. A 2011 study showed that reducing daily calorie intake by 23% can lower body temperature by under half a degree celsius. That may not sound like a huge drop, but when combined with other strategies, could help prevent heat stroke and related issues.

ローカロリーローテンションな人類に進化していくんだろうか…平和になりそうな気もするw
