do spicy foods lower blood pressure
Pass the chilli sauce! Spicy foods 'may lower blood pressure'. Eating mouth-numbing foods such as fiery chilli peppers could help lower blood pressure, a new study has suggested. Researchers found the active ingredient that gives the peppers their heat - a compound known as capsaicin - also relaxes the blood vessels.
Cayenne peppers can have a powerful blood-thinning effect on your body because of the high amount of salicylates in them. Cayenne peppers can be taken in capsules or easily ground up as a spice for food. In addition to thinning your blood, cayenne peppers can lower your blood pressure and increase circulation.
