If you eat spicy foods is it because you like it or because it is good for your health?

I eat hot food because I love it but I know some people who eat it for health benefits. How about you and what are some of the spices you use? Asked by Directmale 17 months ago Similar questions: eat spicy foods health Health.

Spicy food I eat spicy food because I love it. I love eating anything hot. Sometimes when I eat something really hot, I think to myself "never eat this again" but I end up eating it again but it was so good even though it's spicy..

Both, definitely. I enjoy all sorts of spiciness, and i've heard that some kinds* are good for me. My wife says that black pepper is carcinogenic, and her doctor says, "if it hurts going in, it'll hurt coming out."

I guess you can't win. I like garlic pickle, lime pickle, cayenne, peppercorns of all colors, chiles, and so on. I'm in the tank for Scoville!

-------------------------------------------------------------------- * capsaicins? Capsicains? I always get confused about the spelling -- maybe the effects just drive it right out of my head!.

For the flavor . . .

With benefits. I find spicy foods to be more satisfying. I like jalapeno's and onions in salad, onions and bell peppers in stir fry, and onions and jalapenos on my burger.

I also like spicy seasonings and sauces. The spice gives the food an extra zing that leaves my feeling satisfied at the end of the meal. I think this has an added health benefit by allowing low fat and low calorie foods to taste good because of spicy flavor..

I like spicy food, hot sauce, etc. It's better than a plain egg. Is that stuff supposed to be healthy, too? I thought it was simply a cheap exercise with the heart going a bit faster for a while.

1 I didn't know it had any health benefits. But I never met a jalapeno I didn't like.

I ate something spicy since that I don't taste anything even if I eat suger I don't taste anything.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
