What's being said about the health benefits of hot sauce...

Health benefits from eating pepper:

In general, pepper has amazing health benefits. Pepper Improves your digestive health and metabolism. It alleviates migraines headaches and may reduce risks of cancer. Pepper fights fungal infections in the body. It helps with colds and the Flu and provides joint pain relief. Pepper reduces inflammation in the body, supports cardiovascular health, and decreases the risks of type 2 diabetes.

Red Bell Peppers for Cholesterol Control:

These are an excellent choice for heart health as they are full of lycopene, which is not found in green peppers. They are also a source of cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber and powerful antioxidant vitamins A and C, which are suitable for heart health. In addition, it has been proven that consuming spicy foods from peppers that contain capsaicin can help lower blood pressure. Statistics show people who consume spicy food daily have a 14 percent lower risk of death, diabetes, and cancer than people who consume it less than once a week.

Blood Pressure Control:

There's new evidence that capsaicin, the ingredient that makes jalapenos, habaneros, and red pepper flakes blisteringly hot -- ups fat burning and lowers blood pressure. In addition, results revealed at the International Liver Congress™ in 2015 show that the daily consumption of capsaicin, the active compound of chili peppers, was beneficial for liver damage. In the study, capsaicin was found to reduce the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in mice models.

Excellent source of vitamin and weight control:

Peppers have a lot going for them. They're low in calories and are loaded with good nutrition. All varieties are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, potassium, folic acid, and fiber. Plus, the spicy ones liven up bland food, making it more satisfying. Scientists have found that eating chili peppers can help dieters lose weight and burn fat and calories by raising their metabolism. A review of 20 studies, including capsaicin in diet, can help the body burn as many as 50 extra calories per day. However, when capsaicin triggers the TRPV1 receptors in your intestines, it makes your GI system cramp up. As a result, your GI system is stimulated more than usual and gets things going faster – making you need to poop ASAP. Other studies have found that spicy foods can help fight obesity by decreasing caloric intake, reducing body fat tissue, lowering fat blood levels, and fighting against fat buildup by triggering beneficial protein changes in the body.
