Do you know that the small chili kept in your kitchen not only adds spiciness to your food, but can also bring big changes in your health! Yes, many people avoid spicy food, but some recent research shows that people who eat spicy food not only get sick less, but their overall health is also better.

According to a research done in the year 2020, eating food rich in chili can reduce the risk of obesity, heart diseases and diabetes. This study published in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that people who ate a lot of chili had a 25% lower risk of premature death than those who rarely ate spicy food or avoided it altogether.

The senior writer of the study, cardiologist Dr. Bo Xu believes that a special element called 'capsaicin' is responsible for these benefits. Let us tell you, capsaicin gives chilli its spiciness. It activates receptors called TRPV1 in the nerve cells of our body. These receptors then promote the adrenaline hormone, which helps in burning fat in the body and controlling blood sugar.
