Eating cayenne pepper can improve heart health. In particular, the researchers found that with active absorption of chili pepper, the probability of death from a heart attack decreases by 40%.
Another study has shown the benefits of hot chili peppers for human health. It turned out that lovers of this spice have a stronger heart. The study was conducted by scientists from the Mediterranean Neurological Institute in Italy, and 25 people took part in it. For 000 years, researchers monitored their health and food preferences. It turned out that the risk of death from a heart attack was reduced by 8% among those who consumed chili peppers at least four times a week.
At the same time, the probability of dying from a stroke decreased by more than half. The authors of the study, unfortunately, could not accurately answer the question of what it is in chili pepper that provides such an amazing result. And this answer would suit people who cannot tolerate spicy food, but would like to get the same benefits. Overall, some nutritionists believe that cayenne pepper is a marker of overall health and proper nutritional benefits.
People who regularly consume cayenne pepper are likely to absorb more fresh food as well. Chili peppers are often used to spice up home-cooked meals rather than those sold in supermarkets. So, it is quite possible that the benefit comes not from the pepper itself, but from the general lifestyle of people who choose this seasoning. But all the same, those who like spicy food can continue to follow their habits.
