Health Benefits — healthy weight loss

If you can’t get enough spicy food, you’re in luck! It turns out there may be yet another reason to put more hot peppers in your diet. According to researchers, the capsaicin in hot peppers could be responsible for helping you lose weight and possibly even help prevent colorectal cancer.

The spicy hot part of chili peppers has already shown promise in certain types of pain relief, plus in potentially fighting cancer and cardiovascular disease. It’s even been shown to help with obesity, as capsaicin is said to help speed up your metabolism and curb hunger. But there’s something else...

We hear a lot about diet plans. Many times, that means succumbing to fad diets, but it doesn’t have to be that way. You can actually eat many of the foods you love by following a Mediterranean diet.

Could the answer to fighting obesity be found in a chili pepper derivative? That’s what scientists want to know. A team of researchers in Wyoming found some positive results in battling obesity by using an oral form of capsaicin.
