Hi Kvod HaRav, 1. I remember hearing Rav Yosef Mizrachi say a single man should stay away from eating spicy foods, as it causes accidental wasting seed (is this true, or did I hear the Holy Rav Yosef Mizrachi incorrectly?). Does this include GARLIC? Garlic makes my body feel stronger. 2. Also, I heard cold showers helps against wasting seed. Should I take as cold as possible showers all the time? Or hot? Or in the middle? What does the Rav say? Thank you, Kvod HaRav.
