9 Incredible Health Facts About Chilli Peppers

[@ChilliChump]

It was a rabbit hole of information once I started researching this topic. Some incredible studies are ongoing at the moment. If there is interest, I will make a follow up video in the future with some of the results the current studies.

[@erikhartwig6366]

a follow up video would be fun to see. this one was great!

[@SirPimienton]

Yes! the more information the better!

[@philurbaniak1811]

Really interesting subject! 👍👍

[@AbelLocksmithPensacola]

Yes, definitely love the information. I tend a nerd out on these kinds of things.

I had a really bad case of food poisoning during a visit to Thailand. I had stuff coming out of me at both ends for hours and hours. After I was emptied, my stomach was very jittery and all I was able to get down for almost 4 days was water and maybe a couple of bananas. At that point, I was very hungry and finally had to force myself to some food. I chose a dish that I didn't think would be too spicy. Was I wrong! It was very hot but being starved, I managed to get about 4 tablespoons of rice with the sauce into me. Ten minutes later, I was 100% cured! Hot food really does settle the stomach!

[@lilyshambles5644]

Many years later you probably won't see this but in our family we call it the 'kill or cure method'.

[@Newbroken]

I was eating the second half of my cayenne chilli pepper when watching this video. I'm eating chilli everyday now, and i like it more and more. I think they are good for me, that's why i support this video

[@redmapleleaf4617]

Glad to hear all the benefits of chilis since I'm a chili addict. I didn't grow up on it but came to love it as an adult. My mother always says I'm skinny (I'm 122 lbs at 5'10") because of all the hot food I eat. Who cares? I feel great!

[@Norien711]

Crazy! It’s always nice to hear that something enjoyable to eat can also have so many positive impacts on your body!

[@Charismafire]

Fact 6 explains why I'm one of the rare people who experiences burn when I pee after eating extremely hot peppers. Also I melt my face off at least one meal a day and I've only been sick twice with a cold since 2009. I'm 52 years old so I joke with people saying that I've already caught everything at my age! The truth may very well be the herbs and spices and hot peppers I eat daily. Just saying.

[@AnoNymInvestor]

I have had a similar experience. I eat a lot of "spicy" food and add my own hot spices. Also lots of garlic, Greek olive oil and butter. Really strong health, despite stress. I was sick twice this year and couldn't do anything. It felt like a bad flu. Had the Corona finally caught up with me? This was the first serious infection in 10 years. First time in January 2023 and then again in April 2023, which is quite unusual for me.

I have been eating hot chiles in some form in my food for decades. I am super healthy at 73 years young.

[@SirPimienton]

Greeting from the other side of the pond. Found your channel thanks to the Google suggestions algorithms, amazing information. As a chile (Mexican style) adept I loved your channel and this video in particular made me appreciate chiles even more. For reference, I have two eggs sunny side up, three tortillas, a cup of black coffee and a serrano pepper for breakfast almost every day :) Thank you for this information, I wish I could safely purchase seeds from you but I'm afraid customs will reject the package. Can't wait to see the end of your harvest, those chiles look amazing!

[@po5441]

I was looking for something like this and still more to research thanks

[@asmith7876]

How convenient, I just tonight grabbed up the last of the habaneros and other chilis from the garden! I might live forever!

[@derrickc8366]

Thank you Shaun!! I'll be having chilli tea with my breakfast from now on...

At the rate we eat spicy food...we should live forever 😂

Thank you for showing the cited references.

[@murdog04]

This was awesome Shaun! I know this took a ton of research to validate the information. I learned quite a few things watching this. You may have a second career as a professor at a college. So well done. I look forward to the LS tomorrow. V/R Shane

[@gordonstewart8258]

Makes me thankful I grew up in Colorado, which is definitely chilli country.

[@PhilC74]

OMG! That has to be one of the best videos you have ever done Shaun. absolutely astounding and mind blowing information. I would imagine that there has been a good few weeks of work gone into producing that 10 minute video. well done and thankyou for such invaluable information as unfortunately I do suffer with a number of the medical conditions listed, but luckily for me I also grow lots of chili's , although not a patch on what you do!

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you Phil. Very kind of you to say.

Tnx Shaun. You answered many Q that I had for yrs... Well, now I know tnx to you. And this is why we chiliheads all love your channel. ❤💪

[@Reapererebos]

I was not aware of all these health benefits. Maybe (one day) being a chile eater will reduce our insurance costs lol. Thank you for doing all the researching condensing it down. I now have more things to read up on.

I love Tabasco 🔥 Now that I'm eating healthy, I like to add this to my fresh tomato juice.

[@erikhartwig6366]

Great video! I eat raw (hot) peppers as an expectorant... it was super helpful when i had Covid @ 6:00 YIKES!!!! (the snip sound had me laughing)

[@wranther]

Awesome fact filled video Shaun! The boat load of reading available in your resource listing is a complete bonus! I had a general awareness of positive health benefits within the native populations in the southwestern part of the states here. But generally that would be old data now. One curious feature to perhaps keep in mind is the negative health consequences associated with the typical westernized diet. At one time a general observation could have suggested that a diet rich in hot spicy foods seemed to lead to a much healthier system overall. I suspect a mere glance at the growing waistline of many populations would lead to the understanding that good peppers are lacking. Any follow up to these studies or new trials could be very interesting when available. Stay Spicy! -Bob...

[@ChilliChump]

Thanks Bob. It was an interesting one to research (and time consuming!). Hope to see you on Sunday for the livestream!

I’ve been enjoying habanero peppers pretty much daily. I love the taste of them but I don’t really try the hotter varieties. I wish I could have just even a small scale green house just to grow peppers. Keep up the good videos you make.

[@saturnative]

Habaneros taste amazing! All of them from yellow to chocolate... Some say they are superhot but that's a myth. I make my own sauces and ferment chilies for up to 3 yrs. This year I decided to add ONE trinidad scorpio to a 1kg mash of habaneros. A bit more evil hot but still tasty. My problem with superhot chilies is the taste. There's verry little taste and a lot of burning sensation. So this year I'm experimenting with superhot sauces that actually taste good. Next year I'll try to crossbreed different superhots with different habaneros...

Fun fact ;. Chillies plants , will with minimal care , grow for several years - there's a jalapeno pepper a few doors down that's been growing for over 10 years , always producing fruit . Mum used to grow cayane peppers when I was very young , other chillies varietys weren't available at the time in the area we lived - not in the northern hemisphere .

[@Eric-y2f]

I use Chilli or pepper to clear my nostrils when I have the common cold. Vicks inhalers just backs up the mucus but peppers clear them out of you.

Good research! I have heard that capsaicin had health benefits in cancer but never read the articles about it. I’m going to read the articles you mentioned here! As a Pharmaceutical grad student I’m always interested in topics like this!

Great presentation CC. Ain`t it strange that such a beneficial substance is so hard to eat (heat level) and yet things that are so bad for us taste great (sugar). So If i am not mistaken you could extract the hottest Capsicum, cut to very small pieces or dry and grind to powder then make coated sweets that are small enough to swallow without tasting the chilli ? I bet those would sell in your shop and backed up with your impressive research.
