The Benefits of Chili

Many people have heard that Thai curry is a healthy food, because many of the ingredients in curry paste have medicinal properties — making Thai curry a nourishing dish worth having at every meal. Today let’s look at “chili,” the main ingredient found in every curry paste recipe, and what benefits it actually offers.

• Chilies contain antioxidants that help slow aging
• They help boost mood by encouraging the body to produce endorphins (the “happy” hormone)
• They help strengthen the immune system
• They contain vitamin C, which supports collagen production in the body
• They help nourish and protect eyesight
• They help stimulate appetite
• Capsaicin helps energize the body
• They support the body’s detox process
• They help relieve cold symptoms, runny nose, and phlegm
• They help relieve coughing

On top of that, chilies make food look more appetizing, and their heat stimulates the taste buds, making every meal even more delicious. Now that you know all this, go grab some curry paste and get cooking!
