Chilli Peppers

Top Superfoods

Chilli peppers are one of our favourite flavour enhancers here at LiveGood. They contain capsaicin, which is a substance that gives peppers their well-known pungency, producing anything from mild to very intense spicy flavours when consumed. The more capsaicin within a chilli pepper, the hotter it will be!



The capsaicin in chili peppers is being studied to determine its effectiveness in helping to deal with certain sensory nerve fiber disorders, like pain associated with arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetic neuropathy for example.

The studies have shown that it could well delay the onset of arthritis and can significantly reduce inflammation of the joints.

The best type of chillies are the red ones, as they are considerably richer in both vitamin C and provitamin A than both yellow and especially green chillies. Chili peppers are also a good source of most B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, which they are loaded with.

Despite mis-guided widespread opinion, where people believe chili peppers can cause stomach ulcers, it's been shown that they can actually help prevent ulcers of the stomach by killing any bacteria inside, while also encouraging the stomach lining to produce protective juices.

And they're also known to boost your metabolism, which is due to the heat from the capsaicin raising your heart-rate, which burns calories.

Use chili peppers to spice up any dish, comforted by the knowledge you're doing yourself the world of good!
