Dr. Olga Korabliova, a nutritionist, announced that hot peppers improve mood and help speed up the metabolism, yet those who suffer from certain diseases should not eat it.
And Korabliova, in an interview with the Russian Novosti News Agency, indicates that 100 grams of chili powder contains 282 calories. It contains the active heartburn-causing capsaicin, which somewhat raises body temperature and speeds up the metabolism by 5%. This effect lasts 1-2 hours after eating. Therefore, this substance is added to medical ointments – heating ointments.

She says, “Chili peppers contain vitamins B and C, and help the body produce endorphins – that is, they help improve mood. However, those who suffer from stomach ulcers and gastritis are not advised to take it, because it worsens their health condition. Likewise, those who tend to have edema should refrain from eating hot peppers, because they have to drink more fluids than usual, to relieve heartburn.
