#EssentialHealth => Good For Your Gut

You might expect that people that are living with digestive issues or sensitive stomachs might shy away from spicy foods, however, you may find it interesting that the truth is actually quite the opposite. Not only do habanero peppers not cause stomach ulcers, they can help prevent them by killing harmful bacteria you may have ingested. Habaneros can also help the digestive system by stimulating the cells that line the stomach to secrete protective buffering juices.

So the beautiful health benefits of capsaicin, not to mention the flavor and heat can be enjoyed and even embraced...


#EssentialHealth => Reduce High Blood Pressure

Did you know eating habaneros has been shown to reduce high blood pressure? The capsaicin in the habanero peppers stimulates the increase of the insulin-like growth factor IGF-I which reduces blood pressure.

Getting spicy will keep you healthy!
