You're So HOT! Health Benefits of Eating Chili

Is there such a thing? Of course! Chili are plants = plants are healthy food, therefore eating chili is healthy. Nampak tak permainannya disitu?

There are more than 200 varieties of chili around the world, coloured anything from yellow to green to red to black, and varying in heat from mildly warm to mouth-blisteringly hot.

The hottest are usually the smallest: habanero orange, African bird's eye and Scotch bonnet. Green chillies are unripe, so usually aren't as hot as red ones. The active ingredient is capsaicin, most of which comes from the seeds and the veins. So if you prefer your chili milder, try a green one and remove the seeds before chopping.

So what are the health benefits of eating chili?

1. Rich in vitamin C - Chili contain up to seven times the vitamin C level of an orange!

2. Contains antioxidants - They are also good in other antioxidants like vitamin A, and flavonoids like ß-carotene, α-carotene, lutein, zea-xanthin, and cryptoxanthin.

3. It is rich in minerals - They contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase

4. It is loaded with B Vitamins - Chilies are also good in B-complex group of vitamins such as niacin, pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), riboflavin and thiamin (vitamin B-1).

Chili peppers have amazingly high levels of vitamins and minerals. Just 100 g provides (in % of recommended daily allowance):

240% of vitamin-C (Ascorbic acid),
39% of vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine),
32% of vitamin A,
13% of iron,
14% of copper,
7% of potassium,
but no cholesterol.

Sebab itu la cili kena cakap, kecil-kecil cili padi. Walaupun kecil tapi penuh dengan vitamin dan mineral gittuuu.

Peribahasa baru: Siapa yang makan cili, dia la yang dapat vitamin kan. Hihi.
