THE CHILI
Effects and qualities for health. (Alliance Expansion)
The protagonist of national gastronomy goes beyond a rich itch, its properties are used in modern medicine. Capsaicin is what causes the itch of Chile, the undisputed king of Mexican cuisine. It has also been found to be good for the heart, as it lowers blood pressure, stimulates the circulatory system, reduces cholesterol and is a natural anticoagulant that decreases the possibility of a heart attack.
Today, chili is being considered for the development of anticancer treatments, since capsaicin is capable of eliminating malignant cancer cells without harming healthy cells, according to a study from the University of Nottingham (United Kingdom).
Capsaicin is present in numerous medicines against arthritis and rheumatism, in addition to having positive effects to reduce headaches and migraines.
