Excessive use of cayenne pepper, which has many health benefits, is addictive.
Publika.az reports that Turkish nutritionist Cemre Balkan informed about this.
According to him, hot pepper containing C, E, provitamin A, potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and selenium is very useful for health:
“This food, rich in vitamins and minerals, protects the body against diseases and is effective in relieving pain. It also eliminates indigestion and constipation with its fiber content. At the same time, bad cholesterol is observed to decrease in individuals who eat hot pepper.”
According to him, studies show that hot pepper has both benefits and harms:
“Excessive use of hot pepper can lead to addiction. In this case, the individuals experience weakness and fatigue. People with hemorrhoids, ulcers, gastritis and other stomach problems or who have undergone gastric surgery should be careful when using hot pepper. Although cayenne pepper is thought to stimulate the appetite, studies have shown that people who consume cayenne pepper have a decreased appetite. Be sure to consult a doctor or nutritionist when using products containing hot pepper.” /akhar.az
