Do you like hot chilli? I like it but I avoid it. Why? I enjoy it while eating, but it really hurts while exiting!.
Drs. Ahuja and colleagues from University of Tasmania, Launceston, Australia sought to examine the effects of regular chilli ingestion on metabolic and vascular function in a randomized cross-over dietary intervention study. They published their findings in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (August 2006).
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Thirty-six participants (22 women and 14 men) consumed 30 g/day of a chilli blend or a bland diet for 4 weeks each. Multiple parameters were measured.
While there was no difference in metabolic parameters studied, these authors found that regular chilli consumption reduces resting heart rate and increases effective blood flow to heart muscle in men.
Bottomline, chilli may be good for your heart too! By the way, do you like Chilli?
