Chili-Pepper Can Help To Live Healthy Life
Dietary factors may play an important role in overall health
WEB DESK: Using Chili-pepper can help reduce all-cause deaths with an overall risk-reduction of CVD, and cancer mortality.
Dr. Bo Xu from the Cleveland Clinic’s Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute and colleagues stated:
“Chili pepper is well known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and blood glucose regulation effects due to capsaicin”.
Capsaicin gives chili pepper its characteristic mild to intense spice when eaten.
Chili Pepper Study:
The new chili-pepper study analyzed more than 4,729 previous studies from five leading global health databases.
The scientists found out that people who consume chili pepper regularly had relatively reduced 26% cardiovascular mortality.
A 23% relative reduction in cancer mortality and a 25% relative reduction in all-cause mortality was also found.
Dr. Xu further added that they were surprised to find out about the regular consumption of chili pepper is associated with an overall risk-reduction of all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality.
“It highlights that dietary factors may play an important role in overall health.”
However, the researchers only tried to find a link between chili peppers and mortality and didn’t look for the exact reasons behind one.
“The exact reasons and mechanisms that might explain our findings, though, are currently unknown”, Dr. Xu went on.
