Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to hold your chili peppers high and celebrate! The latest medical research has good news, and our love of the tip of the tongue may be the miracle of protecting the body and keeping us away from the threat of esophageal cancer. That's right, those warriors who relentlessly pursue spicy taste day after day, year after year, your stomachs may be healthier than those who eat lightly!
A study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology showed that a spicy appetite can reduce the risk of esophageal and gastrointestinal cancers. The researchers analyzed 510,000 Chinese over a 10-year period and showed that people who ate spicy food occasionally, 1 2 days a week, 3 5 days a week, and daily spicy food had a reduced risk of esophageal cancer, a reduced risk of gastric cancer, and a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, respectively. In addition, among people who do not drink alcohol or smoke, eating more spicy food can especially reduce the risk of digestive tract tumors. After a lot of data analysis and research, scientists have found that people who regularly consume chili peppers have a significantly lower chance of developing esophageal cancer. This is not only because the capsaicin in chili peppers stimulates the taste buds and gives us an unparalleled culinary experience, but more importantly, they contain powerful antioxidants that help our body fight disease.
But wait, don't rush to replace all the spice boxes at home with chili powder. While this study gives spicy lovers a reason to rejoice, healthy eating is never the credit of a single food. Balanced nutrition and reasonable combination are king. The right amount of chili pepper can activate our health defense system, but too much can lead to other problems, such as an upset stomach.
So, dear readers, the next time you're enjoying that bowl of spicy tang or spicy chicken, think about this encouragement from scientific research. But don't forget, the secret to health is balance and moderation. Let's find the thrilling and reassuring feeling in the spicy taste!
