When it comes to speeding up the metabolism, peppers won't let you down. They get their spicy kick from a compound they contain called Capsaicin, which fires up both your tastebuds and your body. Asides from shedding calories, peppers offer a slew of other benefits, a few being that they ward off infection, help clear your sinuses, lower blood sugar, and help fight cancer!
To benefit from this super-food, you don't have to bite into a raw pepper and set your mouth on fire. You can easily sprinkle some cayenne pepper onto your meats and into your juices and soups, or add some hot sauce onto your eggs and tacos. For some recipes with an added kick, check out the links below!
