Health Benefits

You’ve no doubt heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After all, it sets the stage for the entire day ahead, helping you start off on the right foot and curb your appetite until lunchtime rolls around. If you find it harder and harder to get out of bed at all in the morning though, even with the strong appeal of a good meal, perhaps you’re not doing it right.

There’s no doubt that winter is on its way; the leaves have fallen, there’s snow across some parts of the nation and many kitchens are heating up with the smells and tastes of the upcoming winter season. 

When it comes to eating hot peppers and hot pepper products, the trick is part of the treat. That’s because capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers that makes them so spicy hot, is actually playing a trick on your mind and body. After all, the pepper’s not really on fire, but your mind is probably telling you otherwise!

If you just can’t get enough of spicy foods, you could be in for long, long life. At least that’s according to one study on the connection between hot food and longevity.
