Red Chilli

• Red chilies are a powerhouse of vitamin C, a key antioxidant that supports immune function and collagen production for healthy skin and hair. They're also a source of vitamin A (through beta-carotene), B vitamins, and minerals like potassium and iron.
• Capsaicin exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which may be helpful in managing pain associated with arthritis, psoriasis, and migraines. Research is ongoing, but topical capsaicin creams are already used for pain relief.
• Studies suggest capsaicin may help reduce bad cholesterol levels and potentially lower the risk of blood clots, contributing to better heart health.
• Capsaicin may boost metabolism by increasing thermogenesis, the body's process of burning calories to generate heat. This can lead to a temporary increase in calorie burning and potentially aid in weight management .
• The same capsaicin that brings the heat may offer pain relief. While you might not want to rub a red chili on a sore muscle, topical capsaicin creams are used for pain management.
