How do I increase my tolerance for spicy food?

Question

I want to be able to eat spicy food without sweating or hicupping.
You know... up to a point where it would seem effortless.

Answer 1

In my experience, sweating has continued to be a side-effect of eating spicy foods, no matter how much or how often I eat them.
Hiccuping has never been a problem of mine.
If you want to increase your tolerance, do it slowly and persistently. Just eat the spicy foods of your choice, a little bit at a time.
If you hiccup, it's a sign that you have eaten too quickly.
Slow down, chew carefully, SAVOR the food. Don't look at it as a challenge -unless you're going to win a prize for eating spicy food, it's nothing but a personal exercise in expanding your horizons.

Answer 2

I'm not sure, but I think you can increase your tolerance for it. If you truly enjoy spicy food, I would try eating the hottest thing you can handle and gauge where you can tolerate your spicy tolerance. You might be in pain for a little while, but if you really want to increase your tolerance, it will be worth it. Enjoy yourself!

Answer 3

I would start out slow eating a little more spicy every time till you got used to it. Instead of water I would have a glass of milk there to help cool you down.

Answer 4

You may always hiccup or sweat, that's a reaction to the capsaicin, but you can increase your tolerance by eating more spicy food more frequently

Answer 5

Have a glass of water nicely chilled next to your plat when you eat it will stop the hiccups and also will cool down the heat of the food it will work. try it works.

Answer 6

Answer 7

you need to start out slow and slowly build up to it, start with sweet chilli sauce, then chilli sauce, then pickled chilli's then fresh chillis...slowly rising on the heat scale. you need to eat these regularly and over a period of a few months.

Answer 8

Only one way - eat more of it.
