چکیده

A decreased prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular illnesses is linked to eating spicy spices in food. Hot peppers contain the active ingredient capsaicin. It is a naturally occurring compound found in peppers of the Capsicum genus, which includes varieties like jalapeno, habanero, and cayenne. It is responsible for the spicy or hot taste that these peppers are known for. Capsicums are long recognised for their great nutritional contents, such as the chilli pepper. Human health benefits of capsaicin have been the subject of extensive research . Numerous advantages of capsaicin, including cardio protective influence, anti-lithogenic effect, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, thermogenic influence and advantageous effects on gastrointestinal system, have been described in various studies.
