13. Chili Peppers
Data from four international studies indicates that eating chili peppers may help lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease and promote longevity. While the reasons aren't exactly yet clear, one theory attributes the health benefits to capsaicin.8‘People Who Eat Chili Pepper May Live Longer?’ American Heart Association, newsroom.heart.org/news/people-who-eat-chili-pepper-may-live-longer?preview=8ca6
Capsaicin is the potent compound in chili peppers that provides their characteristic spicy heat. It's also a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. Chili peppers come in a wide array of shapes, colors and sizes. In general, the smaller peppers pack more heat than the big ones.
