Eating Red Pepper May Help Burn Calories

(From MSN Health by WebMD,)

Question: A friend told me that spicing my food with red pepper can help me lose weight by making me burn more calories. Is this true?

Answer: Yes, adding red pepper to your diet may increase the burning of fat because a certain amount of ingested food is immediately converted to heat. This process is known as diet-induced thermogenesis, and it plays a major role in determining whether an individual is likely to be lean or obese. For people who are lean, a meal may stimulate up to a 40 percent increase in thermogenesis. In contrast, obese individuals often display only a 10 percent increase in heat production, during which the food energy is stored and not converted to heat.

Recent studies have shown that increasing the intake of cayenne pepper may be an effective method for increasing diet-induced thermogenesis. In a recent study of 13 Japanese women, scientists found that adding red pepper to meals, either high in fat or carbohydrates, increased the level of thermogenesis.

Studies have shown that eating chili pepper may protect the stomach from some conditions such as ulcers. However, eating more than a teaspoon at any one time can cause stomach irritation.

If you have any medical problems and are thinking about making major changes to your diet, consult your physician beforehand.
