10 Benefits Of Spicy Foods
Spicy Foods Benefit #7: Nutrition Profile
One of the most amazing things about spices is that just a pinch or two adds on a plethora of flavor. Often with great flavor we fear a plethora of calories will follow. However, spices are very low in calories. Thus, if you enjoy a strong spice taste, pack it on, as it will have very little effect on calorie intake.
In addition to being low in calorie, many spices are also high in antioxidants that can combat inflammation and even viral infections. This can especially be seen in cinnamon, turmeric, mustard, and chili peppers.
