Red pepper can burn calories, suppress appetite, and speed up metabolism. Pepper affects metabolism due to the capsaicin it contains, said Turkish nutritionist Hülya Çağatay.

The specialist explained that stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to the release of catecholamines from the brain and adrenal glands. This speeds up energy and fat metabolism.

According to Chagatai, pepper stimulates the burning of excess calories after a meal. However, she advised not to abuse this product so as not to cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, people with stomach or intestinal diseases should minimize the amount of red pepper in their diet.

In addition, the nutritionist reminded that physical activity and drinking more water will help improve metabolism and get rid of extra pounds.
