Chili peppers are a beloved ingredient in many dishes around the world. Whether you favor the flavor or not, new research suggests that there may be some serious medical benefits to adding them to your next meal. The study, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, examined the effects of regular chili pepper consumption on overall mortality, revealing that those who incorporate the veggie into their diets have a lower risk of death.
For the study, researchers utilized the health data from over 22,800 individuals living in Italy. They examined the health status of each person for a period of roughly eight years, using self-reported eating habits to determine how often they consumed chili peppers.
