Can eating spicy food drive away the cold?
A small amount of pepper can stimulate appetite and promote gastrointestinal digestive function; Capsaicin can stimulate the taste receptors of human tongue, and reflexively cause a temporary increase in blood pressure, which generally recovers after 10~ 15 minutes.

Eating too much pepper will cause the stomach to be stimulated by capsaicin, damage the gastric mucosa and cause burning pain in the stomach.

The weather is getting colder and colder, so we can't rely on peppers to drive away the cold. Wear more clothes to keep warm, and do more exercise to enhance your body's resistance. It's too cold in the room to turn on the heating. In short, protect yourself.
