The efficacy and function of capsaicin

The reason we feel a burning sensation when we eat chili peppers is because of the capsaicin in the peppers. Capsaicin is not only very irritating, but its efficacy and effects are also quite powerful. Eating chili peppers regularly can aid digestion, improve heart function, and relieve skin pain. Why not enjoy the benefits of delicious food while enjoying it? So, what are the effects and functions of capsaicin?

1. Strengthen the stomach and aid digestion

As mentioned earlier, chili peppers have a stimulating effect on the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, can enhance gastrointestinal motility, promote the secretion of digestive juices, improve appetite, and inhibit abnormal fermentation in the intestines.

Some medical and nutrition experts in my country conducted a survey in Hunan, Sichuan and other provinces and found that the incidence of gastric ulcers in these provinces, where people generally like to eat chili peppers, is much lower than that in other provinces.

This is because chili pepper can stimulate the release of prostaglandin E2 in the human body, which is beneficial to promote the regeneration of gastric mucosa, maintain gastrointestinal cell function, and prevent and treat gastric ulcers.

2. Preventing Gallstones

Eating green peppers regularly can prevent gallstones.

Green peppers are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which can convert excess cholesterol in the body into bile acid, thereby preventing gallstones. Patients who already have gallstones should eat more green peppers containing vitamin C, which can help alleviate the condition.

3. Improve Heart Function

A "health product" is made with chili as the main ingredient, combined with garlic, hawthorn extracts and vitamin E. After consumption, it can improve heart function and promote blood circulation.

In addition, eating chili peppers regularly can lower blood lipids, reduce thrombosis, and have a certain preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases.

4. Lowering blood sugar

Jamaican scientists have demonstrated through experiments that capsaicin can significantly lower blood sugar levels.

5. Relieve skin pain

Studies have found that capsaicin can relieve skin pain caused by many diseases.

6. Chili peppers have a weight-loss effect

Chili peppers contain an ingredient that can effectively burn body fat and promote metabolism, thereby achieving the effect of weight loss.

There are already many chili products suitable for women on the Japanese market.
