Health properties of chilli peppers (Capsaicin):

Capsaicin, the healthiest spice. This substance that chili peppers and other peppers and paprika and spicy flakes not only adds a little (or a lot) of joy to the food, but can have very beneficial effects on our body. Capsaicin promotes a response of our body called taste facial sweating that causes perspiration in the face, which evaporates and 'steals' heat to our body, cooling it. So, although we have the feeling of being on fire, the chilli peppers cool us down.

The best-known appeal of capsaicin is being an analgesic (it is sold in pharmacies in the form of topical patches). Another apparent contradiction. This effect is due to the interaction that this chemical has with TRPV1 pain receptors, which prevents them from sending signals to the brain. Interestingly, this characteristic was known to Native Americans, who rubbed the fruit on their gums to relieve toothache. Today its analgesic properties are being studied to help cancer patients whose treatments (radiation or chemotherapy) have caused mucositis, a disease characterized by sores and wounds in the mouth. And its analgesic effects are not unique to humans: in the London Olympics in 2008, four horses (and their riders) in the equestrian jumping category were disqualified for testing positive for doping with capsaicin, which they used so that the animals do not feel discomfort when jumping

Capsaicin: a promising compound

The effects of capsaicin are also being investigated in Spain. The researcher and professor Inés Díaz-Laviada, from the University of Alcalá, has carried out several studies with this molecule. In statements to the magazine alimenté from which we have obtained this information in Caballo de Oros, she says that capsaicin "has a pharmaceutical future beyond analgesic patches". In addition to its possible antitumor effects, which are being studied, the researcher and her team have observed that "the molecule can activate one of the key enzymes in the regulation of metabolism and energy control". This effect of the spice can be beneficial in the fight against cancer because "tumour cells have modified their metabolism in order to get the necessary energy for their continuous proliferation" and because certain cancers "have obesity as a risk factor, something especially found in prostate cancer"
