Pepper for weight loss: effectiveness and methods of application

Pepper contains a whole complex of active ingredients that contribute to weight loss. This article will tell you more about how to use pepper for harmony, as well as its effectiveness and various methods of use.

For weight loss, you can use various types of peppers. In each of them there is a unique set of components that affect the functioning of the body. You can use pepper in different ways. So, it can be included in the diet, used to prepare various tinctures, and even used externally.

Even sweet peppers help to lose weight. You can improve the shape with the help of many familiar bell peppers. The inclusion of this vegetable in the menu allows you to normalize the work of the gastrointestinal tract, and also helps to saturate all body cells with useful components.

Sweet pepper contains:

• potassium;
• sodium;
• a nicotinic acid;
• vitamin C;
• iron;
• silicon;
• a complex of vitamins of group B;
• iodine.

These substances have a beneficial effect on the functioning of all systems of the human body. Also, these components not only contribute to health, but also provide a good appearance. So, for example, silicon is necessary for beautiful hair and strong nails.

Rich in sweet peppers and dietary fiber. In the process of losing weight, it is quite difficult to do without fiber. Dietary fibers gently affect the walls of the colon, as if "forcing" the body to work more efficiently. This effect contributes to the fact that intestinal peristalsis improves and stool becomes more regular.

Fiber helps remove food debris from the intestinal walls.It also contributes to the growth of beneficial microflora - microorganisms that provide complete digestion. Regular intake of vegetable dietary fiber also contributes to a decrease in growth on the intestinal walls of pathogenic (pathogenic) microflora.

People who at least once in a life resorted to a diet know how difficult it is to maintain a good mood during intense weight loss. A restriction in the carbohydrate menu is a cause of feelings of depression, decreased motivation, and can even lead to depression. In order to avoid such negative manifestations, nutritionists recommend including foods rich in natural endorphins in your menu while dieting.

Scientists have discovered that bell pepper contains a special flavonoid - luteolin. It affects the nervous system, which leads to a feeling of joy. Also, this component helps to reduce the likelihood of developing a dangerous age-related pathology - Alzheimer's disease, and other equally insidious diseases.

You can lose weight with the help of hot pepper varieties. So, the use of chili peppers helps to strengthen metabolic processes, which leads to a decrease in extra pounds. For a long time, scientists could not understand what substances that contribute to weight loss, this burning pepper contains. It turned out that the whole thing is in a special component called capsaicin.

This substance in its chemical structure belongs to the group of alkaloids. The content of capsaicin in different varieties of peppers varies. The sharper the pepper tastes, the more capsaicin is usually in it. For example, in Bulgarian paprika this component is significantly lower than in chili pepper.

Scientists have tried to isolate capsaicin in its purest form. It turned out that this is a crystalline substance that does not have color, but has a very burning taste. In water, this component does not dissolve at all, but it is completely soluble in organic substances. In its pure form, capsaicin is able to maintain its chemical strength for a sufficiently long time.

Capsaicin is a very active substance that can affect the functioning of the human body. Scientists attributed it to the group of irritating components, since with a direct effect on the mucous membranes and skin, it leads to their irritation. People who have already tried cutting them without gloves probably know about this ability of hot peppers.

Despite the local irritant effect, capsaicin helps to reduce pain. Scientists have learned about this interesting feature of the active substance relatively recently. This discovery led to the inclusion of capsaicin in the chemical composition of plasters, which are used in medicine for the treatment of joint pain.

Capsaicin has a significant effect on arteries. This effect also contributes to the fact that after a given alkaloid is ingested, a person has a sensation of warmth and even heat in the body. It is no coincidence that capsaicin is currently included in various medicinal ointments prescribed for the treatment of severe frostbite.

Capsaicin is an active component that helps to activate the digestive system. Once in the stomach, it has a stimulating effect on the cells of this digestive organ, which contributes to the active production of gastric juice. Capsaicin is also able to influence the production of other digestive secrets. Such a complex effect helps to accelerate all digestion processes, which favorably affects body weight.

Numerous studies conducted in the USA have shown that capsaicin has an adverse effect on the growth of cancer cells. Moreover, the researchers did not find any negative effect on healthy cells. That is why doctors advise to include pepper in the diet for people who have a high risk of developing cancer.

Interestingly, with the aim of losing weight, you can use black pepper. This spice is very popular in different countries of the world. Black pepper dishes are believed to help improve health. Black pepper is also allowed to be used during even the most stringent diets.

Acute varieties of capsaicin-rich peppers can cause dyspepsia. Burning in the esophagus is a common symptom that occurs in a person who has eaten a dish with the addition of hot pepper. When eating hot peppers, be sure to remember the quantity. Even a tiny portion contains many components that have a strong effect on the body.
