Hot Sauce Is Healthy

I’m just going out on a limb and say hot sauce is healthy eating. Spicy food has been shown to have numerous health benefits. Those benefits include from weight loss to anti-inflammatory properties. A study also found that chili peppers can lower your blood pressure as well. They also increase blood flow, which in turn improves heart and other organ functions. Additionally, the healing properties of capsaicin are at work again here.

Here’s the bad news. People with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), indigestion or other digestive issues should avoid eating spicy sauces and foods. Otherwise, most people can safely tolerate some level of spiciness. Capsaicin can be a very potent irritant. It can cause damage to the lining in the stomach, which in turn can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and even intestinal disease such as colitis. Moderate spicy eating may benefit fatty liver, be safe, and potentially reduce mortality. So like everything else, enjoy hot sauce and spicy foods in moderation.

Why Hot Sauce is Healthy

Studies have found that spicy foods increase circulation and lower blood pressure. They do this by stimulating the release of compounds that expand blood vessels

Humans have enjoyed hot sauce since ancient times and, as with so many foods, it can serve as an international language to bring different people together and find common ground. Most sources agree that hot sauce is an ancient invention that goes back as far as Mayan times. The first hot sauces were likely just a mixture of peppers and water, but it didn’t take long for people to begin breeding pepper plants to develop the most desirable traits in their peppers. Then, as with most foods, colonization led hot sauce to be evolved even further by introducing ingredients from other parts of the world. Those ingredients are vinegar and other spices. It didn’t take long for spicy flavors to reach all corners of the globe after that.
