Eating chili appropriately can slim and reduce blood pressure

The study by clinical investigation, found that the hypertension in southern of china is higher than the incidence in the northern, because the southern people are like to eat chili, although people in this two areas were eating the different amount of salt, it also influence. However, the research of animal experiments provide evidence for pepper reduce blood pressure. Those mice with high blood pressure because of a genetic defect, after intake capsaicin, the disorders alleviated. This is because the main ingredient in pepper, capsaicin can make the blood vessels of the protein kinase A and nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation levels were significantly increased, accompanied by increased plasma nitric oxide metabolite concentrations (this role with many antihypertensive drugs, the principle is the same, but more modest) promote vasodilation, so the blood pressure can be reduced.

In fact, for the development of the chili function has begun to study long time ago. Just like some time ago pepper to lose weight, the so-called with capsaicin ointment on the skin can promote fat burning, and take the sweat as evidence. However, previous studies clearly stated capsaicin inhibits the synthesis of fat, rather than to promote the so-called "burning" consumption. In addition to the feeling of burning, chili does not do any good for losing weight. Pepper slimming creams has been able to make people sweat, because they can affect the distribution on the nervous system, known as TRPV1 ion channels, this nerve receptors is an important component of the regulation of body temperature, its exists can urge the brain to maintain the human body temperature at any time, when we were bacterial infecting and cause fever (increased body temperature to inhibit bacterial activity) it also have contribution. Capsaicin can directly stimulate the receptors in the brain to issue the command hypothermia, so the body will sweat.

Capsaicin has been misunderstood, eat chili will hurt stomach is a rumor. In fact, according to the studies by capsaicin manufacturer, the amount of capsaicin can promote stomach peristalsis and blood flow, and mucus secretion, repair gastric mucosa, stomach due to alcohol caused damage can be reduced to some extent. However, the truth too far is equally applicable here, If you eat too many peppers, the stomach’s hot feeling is strong. What needs to be emphasized is that although the capsaicin is good, but we can not eat chili instead of drug, just like we could not eating yew bark (containing paclitaxel can kill cancer cells) to anticancer. We can not control the dose and purity of the active ingredient in the drug raw materials, this is the difference between drugs and pharmaceutical raw materials.

There are still a lot of controversy for the effect of capsaicin, the team of scientists client that some of the evidence submitted by the industry, such as capsaicin can increase the body’s immunity, reduce intestinal diseases and so on, such declarations are lack of actual scientific basis.
