The Various Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum) has been used as a food and by traditional herbalists for thousands of years. The hot and spicy taste of cayenne pepper is primarily due to a component known as capsaicin. Modern scientific studies have indicated that consumption of cayenne may help to support cardiovascular functions.* Here are some more potential health benefits of cayenne pepper that you may not have been aware of!

1. Boosts Circulation and Metabolism. Capsaicin, the main active compound in cayenne pepper, is known to increase circulation and boost metabolism. This can be extremely beneficial if you are trying to lose weight as it can help to burn more calories and fat. Cayenne pepper can also help to reduce hunger cravings, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.

2. Soothes Joints and Muscles. If you suffer from joint pain or muscle aches, cayenne pepper may be able to help. Capsaicin can help to relieve pain by temporarily reducing substance P, a chemical that transmits pain signals to your brain. 3. Improves Digestion. Cayenne pepper is a powerful digestive aid that can help to stimulate the digestive system, improve peristalsis, and relieve gas and bloating. It can also be helpful in preventing ulcers by killing harmful bacteria in the gut and reducing stomach acidity.

4. Clears Congestion. If you are suffering from a cold or sinus infection, cayenne pepper may be able to help clear congestion and ease breathing difficulties. Capsaicin helps to thin mucus and drain sinuses, making it easier to get rid of congestion.. It can also help to relieve a headache by stimulating blood flow and easing tension headaches.

As you can see, cayenne pepper has many potential health benefits that make it well worth adding to your diet! Whether you enjoy cooking with it, adding it to smoothies or juices, or simply taking it in supplement form, consuming cayenne pepper could offer some serious health benefits. Just make sure not to overdo it – capsaicin is very potent stuff! *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
