Is spicy food addictive?

Mondo Gastronomy Updated on 2024-01-29

Chili peppers are a popular condiment that not only adds flavor to food, but is also "addictive".

Generally speaking, the human body has a certain tolerance to chili peppers, and in Sichuan, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places in China, many people uphold the dietary principle of "no spicy and no joy". In fact, eating spicy food is a thing that is both beneficial and disadvantageous to the body, and we can see it as a "double-edged sword".

On the one hand, chili pepper contains a large number of trace elements, such as calcium, iron, etc., which can promote blood circulation, enhance appetite, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

On the other hand, if you eat a lot of spicy food for a long time, it may cause irritation to the stomach and intestines, thereby inducing abdominal pain, bloating and stomach diseases.

1.Patients with gastrointestinal diseases

Chili pepper contains a large amount of capsici, which can cause irritation to the stomach mucosa, resulting in damage to the gastric mucosa, and at the same time, eating a large amount of chili pepper will also lead to excessive secretion of gastric acid, thereby inducing a series of gastrointestinal diseases.

2.Patients with chronic diseases

For patients with chronic diseases, try to eat less spicy food, because chili pepper has a strong irritation, once you consume too much, it is easy to cause aggravation, which leads to a lot of discomfort in the body. On weekdays, friends with constipation and hemorrhoids need to pay more attention.

3.People with a thinner body

Friends with a thinner body often belong to the yin deficiency constitution, and such people should also try to eat less chili peppers. On weekdays, if you consume too much chili pepper, it is easy to cause eye congestion, and if the situation is more serious, there will be brain hypoxia and ischemia. At the same time, some people ingesting too much chili pepper can also induce allergic diseases and inflammation.

4.People with bad kidneys

Studies have shown that chili peppers contain some special components that must be broken down and metabolized by the kidneys before they can be excreted from the body.

For people with poor kidneys, if they consume too much chili pepper, these special ingredients will not be able to be broken down and metabolized, and thus accumulate in the body, which will cause greater damage to the body.

In general, although chili peppers can play a role in seasoning, they will also affect health to a certain extent, so we should pay attention to controlling the intake of chili peppers in our daily life, and do not consume too many chili peppers and spicy and stimulating foods at one time, because this will not only cause damage to the stomach and intestines, but also increase the burden on the digestive system.

In addition, for friends who can't eat spicy peppers, if you accidentally ingest a lot of chili peppers, you can relieve them by drinking cold water, if the situation is more serious, you can also drink some milk in moderation, this is because milk contains a lot of weak protein, this substance can effectively inhibit capsaicin, thereby relieving the spicy feeling in the human body, at the same time, milk also contains a certain amount of fatty substances, which can also relieve the spicy feeling to a certain extent.
