Proof The Bible Is True

Capsaicin is an active compound found in different types of hot peppers. It is responsible for their spiciness, as well as for the health benefits associated with them. One of the most notable things capsaicin is known for is its ability to relieve pain. Several studies have shown that capsaicin can decrease the intensity of pain signals by reducing the production of substance P, a chemical that acts as a pain messenger in the body.

 

However, capsaicin is not only good for relieving pain. In a recent study, Japanese researchers discovered that the compound also exerts protective effects against fat accumulation and oxidative stress. They reported that capsaicin significantly decreased the visceral fat and liver fat of rats that were given alcohol and fed a high-fat diet.

 

The researchers discussed their findings in an article published in the Japanese Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
