Chilli: Benefits On Health
Benefits Of Chilli |
Numerous studies have shown that peppers have beneficial effects on health.
COMPOSITION OF PEPPER
The pepper derives most of its virtues capsaicin , the chemical compound that gives it its pungency and causes the burning sensation on our taste buds. The stronger a pepper is, the more it is rich in capsaicin.
Capsaicin decreases appetite by increasing the feeling of satiety. It boosts up the metabolism and aids to "burn" fat .
Its action on digestion , infections , inflammation , sweat , and convulsions has been demonstrated.
A study in the UK found that capsaicin can selectively kill cancer cells in certain cancers (pancreas, lung, prostate): some researchers believe this is why some types of cancer are rarer among Indians and Mexicans than among Westerners.

HOW TO USE THE PEPPER?
The easiest way to consume pepper is to put in your dishes to raise the seasoning.
What if it stings too much?
If you have a mouth on fire after chewing in a pepper or tasting a dish too spicy, do not throw yourself on a glass of water! Indeed, the capsaicin responsible for the pungent flavor is not soluble in water ... You must drink a glass of milk, or eat a piece of cheese: it is in the fat that capsaicin dissolves. And if the milk is not enough, try a spoonful of olive oil!
And if its flavor is too strong for you, you can still enjoy the benefits of pepper by consuming it in the form of capsules .
