Cayenne pepper and health benefits

[hikingthehills]

Every single night I eat a fresh cayenne pepper during the summer time, on the weekends I have them with lunch as well. I have 3 plants that are about 4' tall that are loaded. I'm probably not the poster child for healthy but I dang sure enjoy the heat, if ain't sweating then it isn't good!

Yep, good stuff. Known about the health benefits for decades because the wife and I love spicy foods and she looked into way back then.

I eat spicy food almost every day. Cayenne is one of my favorite seasonings. Try to tell my wife that it relieves gas and she would look at you like you were crazy, lol.

I believe anything spicy has capsaicin which is good for heart health among other things.

garlic will always be king

Garlic is absolutely amazing at fighting infections. Eating cloves throughout the day has absolutely staved off antibiotics and Dr visits a few times for me.
