Food and Health Awareness | Chili Pepper and its Associated Health Boosts
Hey folks @cryptokraze here with my new Blog about Food and Health awareness in which I will highlight the health benefits associated with Chili Pepper. We should add variety of foods in our diet because they have bio-active components in them that help in preventing many diseases and provide other health benefits.
Health Benefits of Chili Pepper
The amazing health benefits of chili pepper include:
Improves Cognitive Functioning
The body needs the right amount of oxygen and iron to achieve and maintain good cognitive skills. Using peppers to flavor your diet every day can reduce your chances of acquiring cognitive disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease when you reach old age.
Red Blood Cell Formation
Anemia and fatigue are caused by iron deficiency. Pepper contains copper and iron. These minerals are essential for the formation of new blood cells. Pepper is also rich in folic acid. Folic acid contributes to the production of red blood cells and anti-anemia. It also plays an important role in rapid cell division and pregnancy growth. Pregnant women should not be deficient in folic acid, otherwise, they can cause neonatal congenital abnormalities.
Acts as Natural Pain Relief
Topical capsaicin is used to relieve pain caused by osteoarthritis and diabetic neuropathy. It works by desensitizing sensory receptors and also has anti-inflammatory effects. Flavoring your food with chili pepper is an excellent first step in the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Clears Nasal Congestion
Capsaicin can not only relieve pain but also relieve congestion. Its ardent stimulation of secretions helps clear mucus from nasal congestion. Due to its ability to induce vasoconstriction of nasal vessels, capsaicin has antibacterial properties against chronic sinus infections.
Soothe Intestinal Diseases and Disorders
Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, peppers are commonly used as food preservatives. Capsaicin kills bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori and cures inflammatory bowel diseases.
Prevent Stomach Ulcers
Pepper can actually prevent stomach ulcers. The peppers kill the potentially ingested bacteria and stimulate the cells in the stomach to release the buffer. This is in direct contrast to the belief that peppers will exacerbate the development or consequences of these ulcers.
These are amazing. Most of the people near us think that chili is very bad for health but after reading this post, this type of perception may change.
Very good information really useful. Thanks for sharing
Hey! I am new to steemit. I also plan to post the ins and outs of health foods too, and recipes (Probably not as great as yours, because I'll be mostly trying to reach out to people with Colitis and Crohns disease like me.) But I just wanted to say that I love your health posts, they are very insightful. :)
👍👍
Chili peppers are nice, but not for arthritis, if you are sensitive to nightshades (which chili pepper is). Nightshades can trigger issues with those with autoimmune type arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis).
Thanks for sharing the healing topic for health.
chilli the power plant.
