Peppers, Chile
When it comes to your health, spice is nice!
Known for their fiery flavor, chile peppers are packed with capsaicin - the phytonutrient responsible for producing their heat.
Chile peppers may also help to reduce inflammation in the body, cause the brain to release feel-good substances called endorphins and boost weight loss efforts.
