January 16 is Hot & Spicy Food Day

Where to Celebrate International Hot & Spicy Food Day. 

January 16 is National Hot & Spicy Food Day. Many of us love it. But beyond the pleasing feeling that the spicy kick gives us, hot and spicy food actually has health benefits to it. Here are some of the benefits to eating hot and spicy foods:

• They can help with weight loss (it has been found to supress hunger and burn calories).
• Peppers can clear out sinuses. The capsaicin in peppers is similar to a compound found in many decongestants, so the hotter the pepper the greater the impact.
• Spicy peppers help to prevent ulcers. The capsaicin kills any bacteria that causes ulcers.
• Spicy foods can help lower blood pressure and keep your heart healthy.
