miraculous vegetables.

in #english6 years ago

Chili is a very used vegetable in Latin American kitchens. Whether you prefer it sweet, spicy, green, red or yellow, it brings a delicious flavor to your meals.
Also, the hot pepper has amazing health benefits, thanks to capsaicin, the main compound that gives it its burning flavor.

  • Relax blood vessels
    A study published in Cell Metabolism, capsaicin, apart from putting fire in your mouth, also causes blood vessels to relax, which is beneficial for people with high blood pressure.

  • Relieves headaches
    Capsaicin also combats the symptoms of migraines, and prevents sinusitis and congestion caused by respiratory problems.

  • Eliminates bacteria
    It generates a bactericidal effect, which helps eliminate bacteria from the stomach, therefore, you are less likely to suffer diseases such as salmonella, for example.

  • Produces endorphins
    Once chili is absorbed, stimulation occurs in the nervous system, which causes the body to produce more endorphins, opiate compounds that are associated with satisfaction and well-being.

  • Segregate more insulin
    Here is the insulinotropic effect that helps to secrete more insulin. This serves as a complement to the treatment that diabetics follow to have better blood sugar levels.

  • Fight cancer
    Capsaicin protects the DNA of carcinogens and has been shown to reduce the chance of prostate cancer.
