Does Hot and Mild Salsa play a part in raising body temperature? The topic I investigated was if eating hot or mild salsa would affect body temperature. The reasoning for testing the two salsa were to find if the salsa would cause a rise in body temperature after eating the salsa. My main hypothesis was, Spicy foods cause these symptoms because it raises your body temperature, and the backup hypothesis was spicy foods cause these symptoms because of a chemical reaction. My prediction if my main hypothesis is true, if we eat spicy food, then our body temperature will rise, and for the null hypothesis prediction, if we eat spicy food, then our body temperature will not rise. During the experiment, I found that the main hypothesis was incorrect,
I don’t really like chiles, but because of the many benefits it gives, my point of view about chiles have changed and my connection with it builds up . The Joy of Jalapeños, an essay that demonstrates the culture, history, Burciaga’s personal involvement about the jalapeños and health benefits of the chiles, is written by Jose Antonio Burciaga, an author and Chicanismo expert. And through his own experiences, and thoughtful and careful examination of scientific evidence about the health benefits of a jalapeño, Burciaga have persuaded me into consuming more jalapeños.

In Confetti Girl, the father and daughter have different views on English class, which leads to tension. In Tortilla Sun, the daughter and mother have different judgement on the mother going to Costa Rica. In both passages, the children and parents have their own separate opinions on topics because they have grown up in different times.

It was during this time with his grandmother that inspires the story in "Green Chile." When Baca was 21, he was convicted of drug possession and was incarcerated. It was when he was incarcerated where he learned to read and write. In "Green Chile," Baca tells a narrative story about his grandmother cooking green chile.

Cumbia serves as a unifier of Mexican people, especially families, and serves as a sociocultural outlet for celebration and upholds cultural traditions. A main theme of Mexican culture is togetherness of the family, and many celebrations create a community and place for family involvement. Celebrating together creates and maintains bonds and is an outlet for expression sharing commonalities such as cultural thoughts and ideas. Solidifying a connection in the community with people that listen to cumbia strengthens the culture and forms unity. Mexican cumbia is a significant aspect of Mexican identity and produces a gateway environment for embracing heritage and reflects a highly family and community oriented culture.
The Effect of Temperature on an Enzyme's Ability to Break Down Fat Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme’s (lipase) ability to break down fat. Hypothesis: The graph below shows the rate increasing as the enzymes get closer to their optimum temperature (around 35 degrees Celsius) from room temperature. The enzyme particles are moving quicker because the temperature increases so more collisions and reactions occur between the enzymes and the substrate molecules. After this the graph shows the rate decreasing as the enzymes are past their optimum temperature (higher than). They are getting exposed to temperatures that are too hot and so the proteins are being destroyed.
Caramelo has been quite an interesting novel. It describes a Hispanic family to the tee. Sandra Cisneros chose her title perfectly for this book. Life’s hardships and possibilities are explored throughout this fascinating novel.
Salsa became America’s top-selling condiment 25 years ago (“9 Spicy Things You Didn't Know About Salsa”). Salsa has been made the same way since the beginning, but there have been a few alterations.

In this lab, I determined the amount of heat exchanged in four different chemical reactions only using two different compounds and water. The two compounds used were Magnesium Hydroxide and Citric Acid. Both compounds were in there solid states in powder form. Magnesium Hydroxide was mixed with water and the change in heat was measured using a thermometer. The next reaction combined citric acid and magnesium hydroxide in water. The change in heat was measured as well. For the third reaction citric acid was placed in water to measure the change in heat. In the last reaction, citric acid was combined with water. The heat exchanged was again measured. It is obvious we were studying the calorimetry of each reaction. We used a calorimeter
Foods that are warm and hot bring heat to our bodies. While cold and cool foods cool down our bodies. Neutral foods are foods like oil, rice, pork and most kinds of fishes. A person who has too much heat in their body usually feels hot, sweats all the time, is grumpy, has a swollen tongue, or could be constipated. People, who have too much cold in their bodies appear pale, have cold hands and feet, might feel weak, or have bad blood circulation. When this happens, we are advised to stop eating that kind of food, which will in turn heal their ailments.
But is their scientific data to back this up? No, not really. It has been widely known and accepted that cooking our food is healthier and safer. Cooking foods kills any harmful bacteria, it lets us eat a wide variety of foods especially those who cannot tolerate raw uncooked vegetables, which can leave individuals with nutrient deficiencies. And well, yes cooking does kill the foods enzymes, our body has its own enzymes for proper digestion and health and doesn’t need other enzymes.
It has properties like hot, spicy and oily and can be more prevalent in summer. High pitta levels cause a burning sensation, increased acidity and inflammation, along with a highly critical and nervous disposition, which is aggravated in the summer time. To pacify pitta, it is best to have cooling foods that lower the pitta dosha and calm the body. Our ability to digest foods decreases as the sun shines brighter, so it is best to eat food during cooler parts of the day, i.e., lunch before noon and dinner at dusk.
