Can't handle the burn? The next time you find yourself stuck in a SPICY FOOD EATING competition, follow these tips and you're guaranteed to win (unless they're professionals). Or maybe you're just really bored and want to train yourself to eat spice. Spicy food is very healthy if eaten in moderation. Anyways, back to the list:

1. Eat a bunch of bananas or ice cream beforehand.
2. Eat it slowly. That way, the heat won't build up and you'll be able to tolerate it. (This tip does not apply if there's a time limit.Although eating faster works for some people. 
3. Drink something ice cold. Cold yogurt, milk, smoothies, or ice-cream works best. Let the liquid stay in your mouth for a while before swallowing. Stay away from soda and water.
4. Eat dry crackers, bagels, or bread along with the food.
5. Suck on a lemon slice or some sugar.
6. If you have spice on your hands, don't touch your eyes.
7. Practice. 

Warning: Start at the bottom of the "spiciness" scale and work your way up.
