Spicy foods are good for your heart
Hot peppers have been shown to lower heart disease risk by decreasing levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, increasing “good” HDL, and improving circulation. In fact, capsaicin is currently being studied for its ability to treat circulatory problems, hardening of the arteries, and irregular heart rhythm. Hot peppers also contain an impressively long list of antioxidants, including those known to help fend off aging, and fresh or dried hot peppers are a great way to flavor up meals without having to add salt or sugar.
