2. Always Wear Breathable Fabrics
Cotton is a natural fiber, so it breathes well. However, do note that not all cotton is created equal! A thin knit like jersey will be more comfortable than thicker pique cotton.

4. Say No To Spicy Foods
Spice tends to heat you up internally, exactly like what happens with a hot flash. Therefore, eating spicy food is like a hot flash and sweat-accelerator. The best thing you can do is limit the amount of spicy food you eat- to help you minimize your hot flashes or at least reduce their intensity.
Also, trigger alert! Alcohol and caffeine also increase the intensity and frequency of hot flashes like spicy food!
