Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Capsaicin, released as a fine spray when you bite into foods that contain it, triggers heat receptors in the skin, tricking the nervous system into thinking you’re overheating. In response, your brain cranks up all of your body’s cooling mechanisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -It’s all about a chemical compound in peppers called capsaicin. Capsaicin binds to pain receptors on our nerves. So, why do so many people enjoy spicy food? In response to the pain, your brain releases endorphins and dopamine which makes you feel euphoria similar to a runners high.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capsaicin elicits a warming sensation when consumed, which may trigger sweating to help cool you off ( 4 ). The capsaicin found in chili peppers may make you sweat, which can help cool your body if you’re feeling overheated.
