I lived in Sichuan for a couple of years and often ate the hotpot. It’s fantastic, but it lacks the subtleties of the spicy Thai food. I have to say, I think this is just an old wives’ tale:

“And that connect with geographical factors, Chongqing’ weather is hot and wet, so people have to eat spicy foods to help them sweat, get rid of extract moisture in their body.”

Effective use of images to help tell your tale 🙂

A few language errors but the meaning is clear throughout.
