Cool Down With Some Spice

August 4, 2009 by FaveHealthyRecipes Leave a Comment

With the dog days of August upon us, expect sweltering hot summer days for the next weeks. Instead of retreating into air conditioning over the next month, why not try a technique used by people living in the warmest climates: eat spicy foods. This may seem counter-intuitive, as spicy foods are called hot for a reason. However, eating hot and spicy foods makes you sweat, which helps to cool the body.

This summer, cool down by eating spicy foods. For one of the tastiest spicy summer recipes around, try this Spicy Black Bean Burger. This easy healthy recipe is great for summer because you can cook it outside on the grill. Add some extra spice to the burgers by adding some Spicy Chili Powder to the bean mixture, or top the burgers with Spicy Texas BBQ Sauce. Make these burgers even more spicy by serving them with Healthy Corn and Black Bean Salsa. No matter how you serve these Spicy Black Bean Burgers, you will have a delicious grilled dish that will keep you surprisingly cool all summer long.
