18 Healthy Reasons You Need Lots Of Chili Peppers

Chili peppers need to be in your diet. Here are 18 healthy reasons to spice up your diet with more hot chili peppers. Just by adding more spice to your life, you're also boosting your health in several ways. I've always loved the way it burns, but now I have even more reason.

Vitamin A

The beta carotene concentration is high in red chili peppers, especially. This is converted to Vitamin A within the body.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is one of the B vitamins that helps the body with energy-related metabolism.

Vitamin C

This vitamin comes in large amounts in hot chili peppers. It aids the body in immunity, as well as wound healing.

Capsaicin

This compound is only found in chili peppers. It's what causes them to be spicy. But it also helps reduce pain and inflammation. It's also one of the several antioxidants found in chili peppers. Antioxidants are known for helping with the  prevention and healing of cancer.

Capsanthin

This is another powerful carotenoid antioxidant found in chili peppers. It is also thought to aid in fighting cancer.

Carbohydrates

Chili peppers are packed with plenty of good carbs to help create good energy. Plant-based carbs contain fibers that help the body produce energy, stabilize hormones, lose weight, sleep well, promote healthy brain function, and more.

Copper

Copper promotes strong bones and healthy neurons and is often a rare commodity in the Western diet. But it can be found in various chili peppers.

Ferulic Acid

This is yet another strong antioxidant found in chili peppers. It can help protect against many chronic diseases.

Fiber

Chili peppers have fiber, which is very good for digestion and keeping you regular.

Vitamin K1

Vitamin K1 (or phylloquinone) is know for aiding in blood clotting, promoting healthy kidney function, and promoting healthy bones.

Lutein

High amounts of lutein have been linked to improved eye health and function. Strong concentrations have been found in green or immature hot chili peppers.

Monounsaturated & Polyunsatured Fats

These good fats help reduce the bad cholesterol and raise the good cholesterol. In chili peppers, they come in many forms, including some of the Omegas.

Omega 3

This all-important polyunsaturated fat can help you lower unhealthy levels of bad cholesterol.

Omega 6

The human body cannot produce the polyunsaturated fats Omega-6 or Omega-3, both of which are found in chili peppers.

Potassium

Think you can only find potassium in bananas? Wrong. You can also get it from eating lots of spicy chili peppers. Potassium may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

Protein

Did you know that chili peppers contained protein? The exact amount of protein needed each day is debated by many health professionals. However, most will agree that it's definitely beneficial.

Sinapic Acid

Sinapic (or sinapinic) acid is another powerful antioxidant also found in chili peppers. This compound is similar to ferulic acid.

Violaxanthin

This carotenoid antioxidant can be found in yellow chili peppers. Like other antioxidants in chili peppers, this compound can help fight many major chronic diseases, such as some types of cancer.

Soy-Free Vegan Recipes: Hummus Salsa  & Spread

You've probably heard of hummus, but as far as I know, no one else has done what we have with it. I was thinking one day and wanted a different take on both hummus and salsa, minus some of the ingredients from both, such as tahini, which my stomach is definitely not in love with. Enter hummus salsa.

Ingredients:
  • One can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • 3 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 2 serrano peppers
  • Organic garlic powder to taste
  • Organic sea salt to taste
Directions:

Throw everything in a blender on the puree setting until it's well mixed and the consistency of salsa. If your blender has a tough time with it, just add a tiny bit more water at a time until it blends. Serve with chips, just like you would with salsa. You can also use it to top your favorite Mexican cuisine.

Serves: 4
