Some studies have suggested that hot beverages are better for cooling down when body temperature rises. No study has investigated the effect of hot beverages in hot weather on personal well-being compared to cold beverages.
The research project will be conducted as a double-blinded randomized crossover trial, where the participants will drink either 10 cl of 10°C cold tea (±2°C) or 50°C hot tea (±2°C), which in a pilot study and in the literature [1,9] has been shown to be without discomfort or side effects. The order of the two interventions will be randomized.
All participants must be adults (18 years or older) and not have a fever on the day of the experiment.
Prior to participation, participants must provide written informed consent and must show up in clothing they find comfortable in the sun and be wearing sunscreen and a sun hat/cap. Participants must also complete a questionnaire on basic background information: gender, age, height, weight, clothing during the trial, and the participant's preference regarding the climate and temperature of beverages.
