Red Hot Chillies Battle The Bulge in 3 Ways

Chillies battle the bulge in three ways by burning fat, suppressing hunger pangs, and boosting overall calorie-burning rates, it has been revealed.

A new study has revealed that red hot chillies help to battle the bulge in three ways by burning fat, suppressing hunger pangs, and boosting overall calorie-burning rates.

Tests by food scientist Stephen Whiting, who is based at Manchester Metropolitan University, proved that chillies "key component" - the chemical capsaicin that gives them heat, triggers an adrenalin rush.

Brown Fat to Fight Flab
Around 50 grams of white fat stores 300 kilocalories. In contrast the same amount of brown fat burns 300 kilocalories a day. Such is the magic of this good fat.

This orders the brain specifically to burn fat cells, and tests found fat around the belly was burned most rapidly.

Midriff fat is the most dangerous, as it increases the risk of heart disease.

Whiting found chillies also helped to suppress appetite, plus they speeded up the body's overall metabolism, the rate at which a person burns off calories.

Exploring the Benefits of Chili Pepper
Capsaicin has been studied for various medicinal properties including anti-coagulant effects. Chilli peppers and capsicums are rich in vitamin A, C and potassium and are extremely low on calories.

"If you eat chillies consistently for a good period of time, it will help you lose weight," the Sun quoted Whiting as saying.
