I would just add, that tolerance is worth developing. You get a new world of flavors open to you, but also you get this wonderfully stimulating sensation which can help you feel good, but isn't necessarily fatty or sugary.
- xeromal 10y agoIt also has the added bonus of stimulating your intestines. Good for when you are feeling unhealthy.
- M_Grey 10y agoAnecdotally, it definitely helps to speed things along to recovery. I also find spicy food ironically helps in very hot, dry weather.
- tunap 10y agoIt also makes the deserts' relative cold months more tolerable. Probably not a good idea in northerly parts where sweating on a sub-0 day/night might be a hazard.
- M_Grey 10y agoI didn't even consider that, thanks for a new perspective. Good point about sweating in freezing weather though, you're right, you definitely want to stay as dry as possible in (for example) the boreal forests of Canada.
- tunap 10y agoI cook with more peppers when I feel indicators of a possible cold or flu. It seems to help. I have also read claims of it eroding arterial plaque and lowering cholesterol. Only non-suspect study a quick Goog turned up was a NIH study on lowering cholesterol on rabbits(it did!).
