Friday Favorites: Is Spicy Food Good for You?

Those who regularly eat spicy foods tend to live longer, but is it cause and effect? Check out the next video in this series: How Hot Peppers May Extend Your Life. I previously covered spicy foods for weight loss in Boosting Brown Fat Through Diet and Benefits of Black Cumin Seed for Weight Loss, and for GI conditions in Cayenne Pepper for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Chronic Indigestion. The video I mentioned about beans and longevity is The Hispanic Paradox: Why Do Latinos Live Longer?. You can find all my turmeric videos on the topic page, including the one shown in this video: Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin. New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift.
