From the definition of a calorie, we can understand that water ice (3.3 ° C) should be increased to 33.7 ° C (37 ° C – 3.3 ° C = 33.7 ° C) to reach the temperature of the body. This means that your body burns calories for every 33.7 1000 grams or 4 glasses of cold water (3.3 ° C) consumed.

So, drink 8 glasses of cold water to 3.3 ° C per day will burn about 67.4 calories than if you drank eight glasses of warm water at 37 ° C (at the same temperature as the body) .

One study showed that eating tomato paste each day increases by 30% the level of skin protection against the sun. Consuming this food also increases significantly the levels of collagen, another crucial factor in maintaining the integrity of your skin.

The peppers contain a chemical called capsaicin, which gives them a taste spicy. In cancer cells of the skin, it induces a state of apoptosis, a process also known as programmed cell death. In short, peppers (especially the more spicy) push cancer cells to commit suicide. So if you like spicy food, you’re lucky. If you do not like spicy food at all and cannot stand the peppers, you can learn to love the spices and then the cancer cells of the skin will be very difficult to grow.

Another study focused on the fact that certain vegetables, like onions and broccoli, may prevent skin cancer.
