Where did the hot pepper come from? Why do we love it so much? What are the benefits?
Those who eat the crispy fresh. They pour the powder over all kinds of dishes, from rice to salad. It is indisputable that hot peppers have an important place in almost all cuisines of the world. Some dishes cannot be considered without pain. We know that it is also beneficial for our health. There are those who make their diet and even drink their pills.
Still, the first question that comes to mind is: why do we eat something that burns our tongue and hurts physically? What do we have, what are we talking about?
Let’s first look at its physical effects. The moment pain touches our tongue, a signal is sent to our brains that our mouth is on fire. Adrenaline is starting to be secreted, our heart beats faster. Our lips swell, our cheeks turn red. At the same time, we start to sweat as the body goes into cooling mode. Then, endorphins are spreading in our body to deal with the pain. We may be in pain, but we are excited and happy.
