Spicy refers to snacks containing various additives such as hot and sour pepper powder, which is not only easy to accumulate fat, but also bad for the skin, especially prone to acne. Pepper refers to pure natural pepper, such as green pepper or red pepper used for cooking at home. Pepper has the function of losing weight. Pepper contains a component that can effectively burn body fat, accelerate metabolism, and accelerate body heat consumption by dilating blood vessels, thus achieving the effect of losing weight.

Colorless and odorless capsaicin can cause burning sensation in mammals because it can stimulate a receptor called TRPV 1 on sensory nerves and release a substance P closely related to pain. Substance P can dilate blood vessels and speed up blood flow, so the part stimulated by capsaicin will turn red and hot. This kind of reaction is very similar to the fever after exercise, which may make people mistakenly think that they can play the same role as exercise in losing weight. As we all know, the real reason for losing weight by exercise is to consume a lot of energy, and fever is only an accompanying phenomenon.

Some studies have pointed out that capsaicin may have the effect of losing weight, but it is taken directly, not coated with Chili paste [5]. However, if it is finally confirmed to be effective and used as a safe drug to lose weight, further research and strict safety and effectiveness approval by the drug supervision department are needed.
