Benefits of eating spicy food

Increase your metabolism
Data across numerous studies indicate that certain spices — like cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, peppers, and chillies — can raise your metabolic resting rate and slow down your appetite. One study also found that turmeric suppressed fat tissue growth in mice.The effect is mild, so putting cinnamon on your roll probably isn’t going to aid in weight loss. But if you’ve reached a plateau in your weight loss journey, spicing it up may be just the thing to try.
Spicy food has longevity benefits
Eating spicy food six or seven days a week — even just once a day — lowered mortality rates by 14 per cent, according to a large 2015 study by Harvard and China National Center for Disease Control and PreventionTrusted Source. (Sadly, the benefits are even larger if you skip the margarita or Corona with your spicy taco.)
