Do you eat Chili for beauty?

There are different opinions about the beauty effect of pepper. For spicy people, it can be said that they are not spicy and unhappy, especially in beautiful Chongqing. Under the influence of hot pot and Jianghu dishes, they frown whenever they see green and white dishes.

Look at friends and acquaintances around you. Even if you don't eat hot pot, all you talk about all day is boiled fish or spicy shrimp, or barbecue night beer. If you eat the canteen twice a day, it is simply "the bird fell out of its mouth." Nevertheless, I still want to advise everyone: eat less spicy food.

In Chongqing, there was a strange argument. Why do women in Chongqing generally have better skin? That's all from eating hot pot! As soon as the pepper sweats, the toxin is discharged. This statement is obviously not scientific enough. First, women in Chongqing look at the environment according to their skin. "There are many beautiful women in Zeguo", and women in places with sufficient water resources look better. In addition, climbing to exercise, healthy exercise raises a healthy body; Second, the humidity in Chongqing is relatively high, which has a certain moisturizing effect on the skin, and the negative effect of pepper on Chongqing people is not small.

In fact, I don't have any common sense to promote hot pot. It is better to say that pepper is rich in vitamin C than to take "pepper is good for detoxification" as the reason why pepper is good for beauty. It is said that pepper is rich in vitamin C, ranking first among vegetables. However, this benefit is far less than its impact on internal organs.

In the old society, poor people were naked and had the habit of eating spicy food. Pepper also stimulated appetite and helped digestion. However, according to the viewpoint of traditional Chinese medicine, eating too much pepper is easy to cause lung heat, and symptoms such as sore throat, aphtha, nosebleed and toothache appear, and it is easy to aggravate the original damp heat in the body, which is directly manifested in acne on the skin.

Hyperthyroidism patients eating too much pepper will aggravate their condition, and people with heavy liver fire and oily skin should not eat more. Some patients with seborrheic alopecia should also eat as little as possible, because spicy ingredients are excreted through the kidneys, which will directly affect the quality of hair. People with a bad stomach, it is better not to eat.

We always say that some things "should not be eaten more", so the advantages and disadvantages of pepper are so obvious. Where are the scales of "more" and "less"? Unfortunately, although the content of vitamin C in 100 grams of pepper is as high as 198 mg, if a person wants to achieve a certain accumulation of vitamin C by eating peppers, it is estimated that his stomach is riddled with holes. In addition, vitamin C is not unique to pepper. Therefore, friends with sensitive skin, prone to acne and oily skin are advised not to eat.

Capsaicin is an alkaline substance. If it acts directly on the skin, it is a very exciting thing in itself. I once had such an experience, because my hands hurt for four or five hours because I didn't clean them thoroughly after cutting peppers. Knowing its power, the first thing to do from now on is to wash your hands, wash them with soap, and even wash your fingernails carefully. It is said that pepper is spicy because capsaicin will dilate capillaries and speed up metabolism when it comes into contact with skin. At the same time, it will directly stimulate nerve endings and make them undergo chemical changes, resulting in redness and burning sensation.

Some people will wash their hands with cold water immediately after they get the pepper, but in fact, the relief brought by cold water is very short-lived, because capsaicin is insoluble in cold water, but soluble in alcohol, so if the hands are unbearable, you can apply alcohol to relieve it. In addition, vinegar is acidic and can be neutralized with alkaline substances. If you think alcohol is too irritating to your skin, it is also a good idea to apply vinegar to your hands. Wash them for a while and then wash them off.

Pepper here refers to the kind of pepper with strong spicy taste, such as morning pepper and seven-star pepper. It is better to eat less. There are also some varieties of pepper that are not spicy, such as green pepper and sweet pepper. Green pepper is much milder than its brothers and sisters, which is very good for treating oral ulcers.

If you really can't quit Chili, remember not to eat spicy food on an empty stomach. Eat something not spicy before eating spicy food. It is said that the advantage of this is to wake up the metabolic system in the body and let the "toxins" produced after eating spicy food be excreted faster through metabolism.
