Hi Libra

Even more good news is that capsicum provides our body with the strength to fight infections, Brings down the blood pressure, enhances the cardiovascular health, neutralize the free radicals which damage the tissue and cells, reduces the cholesterol level, increase the metabolic rate, stimulates the stomach secretions thereby smoothen the digestion process.

Doctors even recommend to make capsicum the main diet when people suffer from severe cold.

Hi.

Since I am lean and have a very hot body, my husband always advocates that i should reduce my intake of spices. I love green chillies, even their raw smell and when you saute along with onions. I fall for the small and add green chillies whenever possible. Because of my DH i started restricting their use.

Now i shall enjoy more of them.

Thanks for the informative post.

Good info on green hot stuff.
My dh eats green chillies alongwith gongura pachchadi / chintakaya pachchadi and even with phulkas.
Myself very far away from this hot stuff.

We are used to a spicy palate. I use more green chillies instead of red chilli powder to spice up the food.

Thank you for highlighting the benefits of chillies. As long as anything is consumed in moderation, it will always benefit. So, we should just make sure that we do not go overboard.
