Consuming spicy foods, especially chili peppers, reduces the
risk of early death by 14% six to seven times a week, experts say. Present
for more than 6,000 years, peppers have multiple health properties. Here's
what hot peppers are good for
They help reduce weight
Capsaicin, an ingredient that makes peppers hot, can help
suppress appetite. One teaspoon of cayenne pepper in food is enough to
burn an additional 15 calories in the body during a meal.
Protects against colon cancer
Capsaicin again. This active but dietary ingredient in
peppers causes a reaction that reduces the risk of bowel cancer.
They are natural analgesics
Modern medicine uses capsaicin to reduce pain, tingling,
death and other side effects that accompany diseases such as diabetes, AIDS, herpes
zoster and arthritis.
They help with prostate cancer
According to the World Health Organization, the lowest
incidence of prostate cancer is in countries where a lot of spicy foods are
consumed. Capsaicin, research has shown, causes apoptosis - the killing of
cancer cells.
They reduce painful ulcers
The myth is that spicy foods cause ulcers and irritations in
the womb. Experts have found that spicy foods, or peppers, actually reduce
the pain that is present in ulcers. At the same time, they not only help
control, but also prevent bleeding in the stomach.
They stop breast cancer
Recent research has shown that the molecules of anger in
peppers aggressively attack breast cancer cells.
Good for the heart
Red hot peppers reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride
levels, while increasing the body's ability to get rid of fibrin, a substance
that creates a blood clot.
They clear a stuffy nose
The peppery effect of capsaicin stimulates the secretion of mucus from a stuffy nose and stuffy lungs. A bowl of soup with hot peppers is recommended for colds and flu. In addition, peppers are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, so they are actually good in preventing colds.
