health benefits of chillies….

images1.lowers Blood Sugar Levels

Eating chillies can have a very positive impact on people who are overweight or suffer from diabetes, say a team of researchers at The University of Tasmania, whose research was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in July 2006.

The study carried out yielded that the normal eating of chillies can help significantly control insulin levels after eating a meal.

The actual data they collected was able to show that after eating Chillies, the amount of insulin needed to lower the body’s blood sugar level following a meal was reduced by a staggering 60%.

2.improve Heart Health, Boost Circulation, Thins Blood and Helps Protect Against Strokes

Often overlooked as circulation boosters, chillies can have a dramatic impact on your health by helping to boost circulation and also act as a thinner to help protect against strokes. Eating food with chillies every day is all you need to do to enjoy the multiple and important health benefits they have to offer.

While you are reading this article, we would also like to point you to a link which we hope can be shared in order to spread awareness of the symptoms and warning signs of a stroke.

3.Provides Pain Relief & Reduces Inflammation

Capsaicin is well known to contain a Neuropeptide associated with the inflammatory process. Chilli related alterations in plasma proteins have been reported in patients with auto-inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid and arthritis.

The regular intake of chillies can help to minimize the effects these diseases have on the body.

Many ingredients that we use in the kitchen can also be used as medication but some of us don’t  know that….did u???????

hot news of the week……loses weight

 It’s no secret that eating hot foods such as curries and Mexican chillies makes  us feel warm. Really hot versions can even make us sweat and go red in the face.

This is because capsaicin, the chemical that gives chillies and chilli-based  spices such as cayenne and paprika their characteristic pungency, stimulates a  natural process whereby some of the food we eat at each meal is converted  immediately to heat.

Called diet-induced thermogenesis, this process is good news for dieters  because it means we burn up calories automatically rather than storing them.

so lets burn down some calories….!!!!!!!!!!!

chillies that sizzile......

this week it’s all about the hot stuff that would make your mouth burn with fire……even its too spicy or hot i can change the way you do the cooking by adding some love spicy to your food and that’s chillies that would spicy you up so let’s try some new recipes together…….what you say????????
