Do you like spicy food? I have good news for you! According to a study, eating spicy food has a lot of cardiovascular benefits and may even reduce the risk of dying from heart disease!
The Italian study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, found that eating chilli peppers at least four times a week reduced the risk of death by 231 TP4T, and the risk of dying from heart disease and stroke by 401 TP4T and 601 TP4T, respectively.
Cardiovascular Risk Reduced by Eating More Spicy Food: 8-Year Study of 20,000 People
The study, led by the Mediterranean Neurological Institute (Neuromed) in Italy, followed 22,811 volunteers for eight years and categorised them into four groups: 'never or rarely eat chilli', 'eat chilli twice a week', 'eat chilli more than twice a week, but not more than four times a week' and 'eat chilli more than four times a week'.
The researchers found that people who ate chilli at least four times a week had a 23% lower risk of death than those who didn't. In addition, the risk of cardiovascular death was more significantly reduced, the risk of dying from heart disease was also 40% lower, and the risk of dying from stroke was more than half lower, coming in at 60%.
"Capsaicin can fight cancer and prevent diabetes.
In the past, studies have pointed out that the capsaicin in chilli peppers is beneficial to human health, and to a certain extent, it can prevent cancer and diabetes, etc. The research team said that chilli peppers have a strong correlation with cardiovascular disease mortality risk. According to the research team, there is a strong correlation between chilli peppers and the risk of cardiovascular disease deaths, and chilli peppers may even reduce the overall risk of death, but more research is needed to explain the correlation between the two. The research team also believes that food should not be treated as a drug, and does not need to be taken at regular intervals, but from the beginning of the adjustment of dietary habits.
However, Duane Mellor, a senior lecturer at Aston University's School of Medicine in the UK, believes that the study has not proved that eating chilli peppers is good for your health, and that those who consume chilli peppers may have added more spices to their diets, and may also be consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, and that the results of the experiment may not have been directly influenced by chilli peppers.
