Benefits of Chili Peppers
Chilis are wonderful for increasing circulation and strengthening the heart. They are allies of digestion, increasing digestive fluids which aids nutrient absorption, while also reducing inflammation in gut (and the body). They support brain health by reducing the amount of beta-amyloid plaque that leads to neurodegeneration. They are cancer protective and can reduce cancer cell production in some cancers. And lastly, chili peppers help to enhance the properties of other herbs it’s combined with — synergistic power ✨🙌
