COULD YOU HANDLE THIS SPICY CHALLENGE?🌶⁠👇⁠ ⁠ Hot peppers contain the powerful compound capsaicin, that has been studied for its metabolism boosting and weight loss effects. A Korean study looked at the effects of capsaicin in combination with a high fat diet and concluded "that capsaicin can have a significant inhibitory effect against fat accumulation" (Journal of Proteome Research, 2010).⁠ ⁠ In another study, researchers gave a group of adults almost 1tbsp chili pepper 🔥😳 in tomato juice 30mins before a meal and found that the exposure to capsaicin increased the feeling of fullness and reduced calories and fat intake (International Journal of Obesity, 2005).⁠ ⁠ Chili peppers are packed with nutrients that protect the skin including beta carotene and Vitamins C and E. The antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects of chili peppers mean they can help to keep our skin healthy – combatting outbreaks and flare ups. Vitamin C boosts collagen production to combat ageing. Plus, the antioxidant effects can reduce cell damage from free radicals, which is important in fighting wrinkles.🧓⁠ ⁠ Ready to give this spice a try to boost your metabolism?🔥⁠ ⁠ How to and other helpers:⁠ ⁠ Which type of pepper should I choose? All varieties of spicy peppers contain capsaicin, are you tough enough to try cayenne or scotch bonnet?! (Non-spicy bell peppers won’t have the fat-metabolising effects but will still boost your skin).⁠ ⁠ Have 30mins before or at the beginning of a meal – either dried chili powder in tomato juice as they did in the study mentioned above, slice fresh chilis onto a rocket salad, or try deli ones that are pickled or stuffed! 😋⁠ ⁠ Ginger is another spice that helps to boost weight loss, so you could try 1tsp of our heirloom Ginger in tea 🫖 or hot water 30mins before a meal.⁠ ⁠ Our Ceremonial Grade Matcha 🍵 also has metabolism boosting effects, make a pure Matcha with hot water to have daily.⁠ ⁠ Get your heirloom Ginger and pure Matcha on our website now:⁠ Click the link in our bio @OrganicBurst
