Name two ways the body cools itself?
A
sweet & candy
B
water & chocolate
C
sweat & blood vessels expand
D
pop & hot shower
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As your excess body heat is used to convert beads of sweat into vapor, you start to cool down. The other trade off here, though, is that you also lose water as you sweat-and water is critically important for just about every organ in your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sweat gets vaporized from the skin into the atmosphere, by absorbing heat from the body. Thus the body cools down as it loses heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -But why does sweating have a cooling effect? The answer is evaporative cooling. Turning a liquid such as sweat from its liquid state into a gas requires energy. This energy is taken from our body, or sweat, in the form of heat.
