Chili - A burning sort of cool!

Recently I have been really getting into chili, with almost everything I eat being spicy enough to be used as a substitute for rocket fuel! As a side effect, I have been looking into the health benefits of it, and to my surprise, there are MANY great health benefits, including:



- High in vitamins and minerals

- Good for pain relief

- Reduce risk of cancer

- Kill intestinal parasites

- Clear nasal passages

- Control of blood sugar (reduced risk of diabetes)



Therefore, if you do not already, I recommend bringing a bit of spice to your life! There is a level for everyone, from a touch of paprika to extra hot chilli powder, so choose a level that won't blow your head off to start with! I like using fresh green chilies too, anyone that is brave enough can ask me for a sample of my chilli, but you'd better like it hot!



If you are planning on trying out adding some spice to your cooking, I thought it may be prudent to add a link to this page on how to cool chili burns!
