For those who enjoy spicy cuisine, chili peppers are actually good for more than just your taste buds. Opting for chili peppers that contain capsaicin will maximize health benefits for your heart and also lower your blood pressure and cholesterol significantly. There is also the added benefit of clear sinuses.
Chilli peppers must be consumed in moderate (or even light) amounts, as consuming too many is bound to give you fiery indigestion and a torturous time in the bathroom hours later.
