Spicy Organic Tacos
While you certainly don’t have to add heaps of spices to your food to reap the benefits,
spicy foods are actually a really healthy addition to your nutrition. What’s great is they also
come in a variety of different flavors, and heat levels! Here are the benefits of spicy food,
as taken from Self.com:
Organic Spring Vegetable Curry
Spicy foods are great for revving up your metabolism. Certain ingredients contribute to this
revving up. For example, chilies contain capsaicin, which has a thermogenic effect. This thermogenic
effect may cause your body to burn calories for an extra 20 minutes!
Organic Cilantro & Jalapeno Burritos
According to Self.com, cultures that include more spices in their food tend to have a much lower
incidence of heart attack and stroke. Reasons for this may be because capsaicin can fight inflammation,
and chili peppers can reduce bad cholesterol, which are both risk factors for heart issues.
Organic Heirloom Tomato Salad
Capsaicin can kill some cancer and leukemic cells. One spice in particular, Turmeric, may help
in slowing the spread of cancer and tumor growth. Doctors say Turmeric can have the same effect as as
certain cancer drugs do.
Organic French Pressed Coffee
The Vitamin A and C in certain spices are great for strengthening your heart muscle walls. Plus,
heat from spicy food can increase blood flow through your body. This all helps your cardiovascular health.
10 Unique Organic Juices
Spicy food can produce feel-good hormones. Serotonin, which is known to help your brain and body feel good,
is produced by eating spicy food. This may help with any depression or stress.
