Spicy food can reduce the risk of heart and respiratory diseases.
As reported by MedicalXpress, Paul D. Terry, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Tennessee (USA), said that spicy food has an ambiguous effect on human health. On the one hand, such dishes can worsen the condition of people with some chronic diseases, and on the other hand, they can reduce the risk of heart and respiratory diseases, informs UAINFO.org.
Spicy food can cause discomfort in the digestive tract, headache and even vomiting. In addition, dishes with the addition of a large amount of pepper, wasabi, turmeric and radish can aggravate the symptoms of intestinal and stomach diseases.
However, studies confirm that eating spicy food is associated with a reduced risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, heartburn, ulcers, respiratory and mental health problems. In addition, slight pain and burning during eating can trigger the release of endorphins and dopamine - hormones of happiness and pleasure.
The doctor said that if spicy food causes unpleasant sensations, such as migraine, stomach pain and diarrhea, then it is better to avoid these foods. People who tolerate spicy food well can continue to eat such dishes - a moderate amount of spicy food is good for the body.
