| Re: Acne and SPICY foods
Well there is alot of research that suggests hot foods have several health benefits and have been treated in circulatory problems.
Capsaicin is a compound that is found in seeds of chilli peppers. Research says that this compound can fights chronic diseases. Capsaicin acts as an antioxidant. Just like vitamins A, C and E, it disarms cell-damaging molecules called free radicals believed to promote heart disease and other life-shortening ailments. And one jalapeno has more vitamin C than three oranges; it's also a good source of vitamins A and E.
The compound can also combat cancer, prevent blood clots (blood clots are rare in Thailand, where people eat chili peppers daily), kills pain (reduces headaches) and can speed up metabolism. A British study found hot peppers boost the metabolic rate, which burns extra calories. And losing excess pounds is as good for your health as it is for your vanity, since it reduces the risk of adult onset diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers.
Maybe chillis can indirectly benefit the body with regards to acne but by no means think it can cure it. However, also remember that when we talk about hot foods in the Western world, we refer to ready made/take away foods. These foods contain copious amounts of preservatives, colourings, natural/artifical flavourings, millions of E-numbers and other poisons. So basically it is these harmful ingredients that CAN cause skin problems. If you make a curry at home with all natural produce then I guarantee you will see your skin react to a lesser extent (or not at all).
