At the same time, another important function of capsaicin is to stimulate the body's heat-generating system and accelerate metabolism. A fast heat generation system can improve the working efficiency of the body, just like a fast-running machine can consume a lot of hydrocarbon fuel.
After eating a spicy meal, you can consume more than 25% calories. When spicy food burns in the belly, drinking a cup of black tea rich in caffeine is more obvious. Pepper can also promote the production of two enzymes in the body. In the process of burning fat, they can "persuade" fat cells to unload while preventing excessive accumulation of fat.
