Why coffee with hot pepper is the best way to start the morning energetically

The tradition of adding pepper to coffee originated many centuries ago, when Arab merchants thought of roasting coffee beans together with pepper to preserve their taste and aroma for a longer time. Later it turned out that, in addition to the “conservation” of the taste properties of coffee, pepper can bring great benefits to the body. We talk about why you should try this unusual drink in our article.

What are the benefits of coffee with pepper

The invigorating property of caffeine is enhanced several times when pepper is added: it improves blood circulation, ensures saturation of the brain with oxygen and improves concentration. In addition, the tandem of caffeine and pepper activates short-term memory, making it easier to remember large amounts of information.

Both coffee and pepper are rich in antioxidants. They protect the body from damage by free radicals, stop inflammatory processes in the body, slow down aging, prevent the formation of wrinkles, improve the condition of the skin and protect it from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.

The combination of coffee and pepper stimulates the production of the “happiness” hormone. serotonin is no worse than chocolate, and at the same time contains a minimal amount of calories. Pepperin (the active substance in pepper) accelerates metabolic processes and ensures effective detoxification of the body – we recommend everyone to pay special attention to the drink.

You can add both black allspice and red chili pepper to coffee. The first will give more aroma, and the second will add spiciness to the drink. Experts do not recommend drinking such coffee for people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases – for an inflamed mucous membrane, pepper can become too strong an irritant.
