Myth: Spicy Food Gives You An Ulcer

Myth: Spicy Food Gives You An Ulcer
.

Spices don’t trigger ulcers. The bacteria Helicobacter Pylori causes almost all ulcers, except those triggered by certain medications, like aspirin
.
What spices can do is exacerbate an irritable bowel, which people often mistake for an ulcer. One study says hot peppers could make one live longer


There are many reasons to include chili peppers in the diet.  

1.    They are full of nutrients and antioxidant.
2.   One possible explanation is that a compound called capsaicin — one of the principal components of chili peppers — may play a role by binding to certain receptors, which may help protect against obesity and lead to a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, according to the study.
3.   Capsaicin also has anti-microbial properties that could alter the bacteria in the gut.

4.   They contain numerous other nutrients, such as B vitamins, vitamin C and a compound that the body converts into vitamin A, according to the study.
