Lower blood sugar and reduce visceral fat, lose weight
Eating hot peppers regularly will help the body control insulin in the blood. This is a beneficial effect for diabetics. People who eat chili peppers regularly in moderation can reduce blood sugar levels by up to 60%.
Research shows that thanks to the hotness of chili, when eating chili, the body's heat will be burned. That burning causes the need for water to increase. Therefore, excess calories are strongly promoted to metabolize. Capsaicin in chili has the ability to reduce bad LDL fat and cholesterol.
Furthermore, capsaicin also burns visceral fat, especially belly fat. Capsaicin is a nutrient that can inhibit the growth of fat cells, thereby stimulating the fat burning process. Therefore, eating foods rich in capsaicin, especially chili, can promote faster fat burning, helping to reduce visceral fat and lose weight.
Eat chili properly
You should only eat 1-2 chili peppers per day and should eat them with other foods. Because chili peppers are hot, eating a lot of them alone can cause heat in the body and constipation.
You should eat sour fruit after eating chili to stimulate intestinal motility and digestive secretions, supporting intestinal digestion.
People with gastroesophageal reflux, stomach ulcers, burns in the mouth, throat, or esophagus should not eat chili because it can make the condition worse.
