Spicy Foods Tied to Longer Lifespan

Love spicy food? Chances are you'll live longer, according to new findings out of Harvard Medical School. Based on a large multi-year food analysis, the study found that people who reported eating spicy foods three days per week were less likely to die during the study period than those who consumed spicy foods less than once a week. The research, which was published in the medical journal BM!, reported that eating spicy foods between three and seven days per week appeared to lower mortality by as much as 14%. Among the most commonly used spicy foods, fresh chili peppers were specifically linked to a lower risk of dying as a result of cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
