Can I eat chili sauce if I have constipation?

In order to help everyone solve this confusion, in the following article we will introduce to you the nutritional composition of peppers and the effects of eating peppers on people. We hope that it will be helpful to everyone and allow everyone to further understand this knowledge.

Chili peppers are rich in vitamins E and C. In addition, they contain capsaicin, which is unique to chili peppers. Red, yellow and sweet peppers also contain capsanthin. These two ingredients are only found in chili peppers. Capsaicin is found in the pepper pulp, while capsanthin is found in the pepper skin. It acts like carotene and has good antioxidant effects. Therefore, people who like to eat peeled peppers may not be able to eat capsanthin.

In addition to relieving heat and pain, the hotness of chili peppers can also be used as a weight loss product because it can promote the secretion of adrenaline and improve metabolism. Capsaicin also has the effect of reducing platelet viscosity, so it has become a popular ingredient in health foods for maintaining cardiovascular health. However, due to its strong irritation, people with gastrointestinal ulcers, heart pain, or chest tightness are advised to avoid eating it.

When the spicy taste of chili peppers stimulates the nerve endings of the tongue and mouth, the brain will immediately order the whole body to "be on alert": the heartbeat will speed up, saliva or sweat secretion will increase, the stomach and intestines will "work" twice as hard, and endorphins will be released at the same time. If you take another bite, your brain will think that pain is coming and release more endorphins. The continuous release of endorphins will make people feel relaxed and excited, and produce the "high" after eating spicy food. Another factor that makes eating chili peppers addictive is the effect of capsaicin. When taste receptor cells come into contact with capsaicin, they become more sensitive, making food taste delicious.

When people eat chili peppers, as long as the spiciness does not hurt their mouths, their taste buds will become more sensitive. In addition, when eating chili peppers, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice in the mouth increases, and gastrointestinal motility accelerates. When people lose their appetite and eat less, they will have the urge to eat chili peppers. In fact, whether you are addicted to spicy food or not, eating chili peppers in moderation has certain therapeutic effects on the human body.

The above are the effects and functions of chili peppers introduced to you. Although chili peppers do have a certain effect on constipation, eating chili peppers appropriately is still very helpful for the body and mind. It can strengthen the stomach and aid digestion, and it can also prevent the occurrence of gallstones. In addition, there are many other benefits. I hope it will be helpful and understandable to everyone.
