What are the benefits of pepper? Today I will give you a detailed introduction: Chili peppers can relieve painChili peppers have been used to relieve pain since ancient times, but scientists have only recently discovered that capsaicin can stimulate and deplete the nerve conduction "substance P", which can transmit pain messages throughout the nervous system. Through the analgesic principle of capsaicin, chili paste has been used to relieve pain from herpes zoster, trigeminal neuralgia, etc. Chili peppers can make your skin redApplying capsaicin to the skin will dilate capillaries, promote circulation, and make the skin red and hot. Currently, some manufacturers have used this principle to put capsaicin into socks, making them "pepper socks" for winter heating. Can relieve cold symptomsFor thousands of years, spicy food has been believed to be able to remove phlegm, and now it seems to be the case. Spicy food can dilute the secreted mucus and help phlegm to be coughed up to avoid blocking the respiratory tract. Professor Ivan Chiman of the University of California even said: "Many cold and cough medicines sold in pharmacies have the same effect as chili peppers, but I think eating chili peppers is better because it has no side effects at all." Chili peppers can prevent cancerFrom the perspective of epidemiological studies, many ethnic groups that love spicy food, such as Southeast Asians and Indians, suffer from cancer. The probability of ovulation is lower than that of Western countries. Scientists speculate that these spicy foods contain many antioxidant substances. Oxidation is directly related to chronic diseases, cancer and aging. Recently, a study by the University of Hawaii in the United States pointed out that carotenoids in vegetables such as peppers and carrots can stimulate genes that transmit messages between cells. Because when an organ becomes cancerous, the system for exchanging messages between cells will malfunction), this may play an important role in preventing cancer. Chili peppers can prevent arteriosclerosisOne red pepper contains the daily required amount of carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant that can fight against the oxidation of low-density cholesterol into harmful forms. Once low-density cholesterol is oxidized, it will become a bad substance that blocks arteries, just like butter that has not left the refrigerator. In other words, carotene begins to intervene at the initial stage of arteriosclerosis. |
