Hot Peppers May Prevent Blood Clots & Heart Disease While Promoting Weight Loss
Studies show hot peppers may prevent blood clots and heart disease by increasing blood flow. It's all due to Capsaicin, the natural chemical that puts the "Hot" in hot peppers. While clinically proven to relieve headaches and sinus inflammation, capsaicin may also be the key to a healthy heart. Because of its' unique thermal heat action, capsaicin also increases metabolic activity promoting natural weight loss.
Altamont, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2004 -- For the past decade, doctors have been
prescribing a daily dose of aspirin as a solid prevention tool against heart
disease, but did you know that certain studies show hot peppers may be even more
effective than aspirin when it comes to keeping a healthy heart? Furthermore,
hot peppers also trigger metabolic activity which can lead to increased calorie
burn.
It's all due to the natural chemical that puts the "Hot" in hot
peppers. It's called Capsaicin, and it's been clinically proven to kill pain,
stop headaches, and clear up chronic sinus conditions. Yet one of the greatest
benefits of capsaicin is its' proven ability to increase circulatory blood flow
thus preventing abnormal clotting which can lead to heart attack and stroke
later in life.
Clinical studies have shown that when ingested, capsaicin
activates the body's circulation process dramatically. Unlike drugs with
stimulant side effects, capsaicin promotes circulatory blood flow through its'
natural ability to conduct thermal heat while also inhibiting the nerve
receptors that cause swelling and pain.
Several studies concentrating on
gastrointestinal diseases have found that capsaicin also increases blood flow to
the stomach and stimulates the production of digestive juices. One study in rats
found evidence that capsaicin also protected against stomach damage caused by
alcohol.
Studies have also led many researchers to conclude the
unusually low rates of gastric and colon cancer in Latin America may be directly
connected to the high dietary intake of capsaicin in that region of the world.
One study on gastric disorders at Duke University, showed capsaicin may
actually lead to a cure for certain intestinal diseases. The Duke team found
that a specific nerve cell receptor appears to be necessary to initiate the
development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), findings they believe could
change the way physicians treat this disorder.
On the alternative
medicine side, there's a popular capsaicin based drink that's being touted as an
all around system cleaner. Known as "The Master Cleanser", it's one of the most
popular recipes on the web with one of it's main ingredients being cayenne
pepper. Many Hollywood stars use the Master Cleanser for weight loss, and for
relieving many circulatory afflictions.
Robin Quivers of The Howard
Stern Radio Show has lost 75 pounds, and regained her youthful energy since she
started drinking the pepper based cocktail daily. Many insiders say Paris Hilton
also credits the Master Cleanser with helping to maintain her toothpick thin
figure. Actor / director Billy Bob Thorton and his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie also
both reportedly use their own Master cleanser formula everyday. Thorton claims
he's never even caught a cold since he's been using his daily dose of capsaicin.
Master Cleanser users claim the concoction of water, lemon juice, maple
syrup, and cayenne pepper also alleviates chronic stomach disorders, and helps
to burn fat for prolonged periods.
Though it's a novel idea that seems
to work relatively well, the Master Cleanser only provides a bare minimum of
capsaicin, and because the recipe calls for powdered cayenne pepper, the
complete benefits of the capsaicin are lost. In other words, powdered pepper is
a great addition to your diet, but the medicinal benefits are limited when
compared to fresh liquid pepper extract. Therefore, the key to getting the most
benefit from the capsaicin is to use a fresh Capsicum pepper
extract.
Enter SiCap Industries, makers of "Sinus Buster," the world's
first capsaicin based nasal spray. They've designed another brand new capsaicin
product known as "Pepper Boost". It's the world's first liquid capsaicin
supplement designed to kick the body's circulation up a notch. The manufacturer
claims Pepper Boost not only increases the body's circulation process, but it
also speeds up the metabolism in general which also helps users burn calories
more efficiently.
"The first thing you notice when you take Pepper Boost
is the instant burst of energy it gives you. And after you use it for a couple
weeks, most people notice increased circulation in their extremities. The other
thing we're hearing from customers is that it apparently helps some people with
inflammatory joint pain related to arthritis. We've also heard from dozens of
people who say it stops sore throat pain on contact. The consumer reaction has
been tremendous. I think we have another winner here just like the sinus
buster....maybe even better," says Wayne Perry, President of SiCap
Industries.
Aside from the Capsaicin (hot pepper extract), the Pepper
Boost formula also uses two other very powerful herbal supplements as active
ingredients. The first is Feverfew, a natural extract taken from a certain
variety of Chrysanthemum plants. Feverfew has been shown to dramatically
increase circulation just as Capsaicin does, and some studies show it may also
be helpful in the long term prevention of migraine headaches.
The other
active ingredient is Green Tea extract. This powerful organic extract has been
shown to promote natural weight loss by helping the body burn calories and fat.
Furthermore, just like Capsaicin, Green Tea is an incredibly effective
antioxidant that may also have a future in helping to prevent certain types of
cancer.
The three main active ingredients are combined with a natural
lime base, pure clove honey, Rosemary extract, and Vitamin C to create a very
powerful all natural medicinal cocktail. The manufacturer also claims that
Pepper Boost is an excellent appetite suppressant, and there are studies that
back up the suppressing effects of Capsaicin on the appetite.
"All in all
this product is a daily supplement that boosts your metabolism which helps the
body burn calories and fat naturally. Would you lose all your weight on pepper
boost alone? No, but it can definitely help you shed a few pounds and most
importantly, keep your weight stable. Plus it can help prevent circulation
problems that definitely lead to heart attack and stroke down the road," adds
Wayne Perry.
Pepper Boost is designed to be sprayed on food, in
beverages, or directly in the mouth. The suggested dosage is three times daily
using six squirts per dose, and the reaction is immediate.
"When you take
a few sprays of this stuff, it really wakes you up. It doesn't burn, but it
feels warm and kind-a weird. You take a few squirts and it makes you almost
cough a little bit for a second....then you feel this warmth slowly go through
your body after about ten minutes," says Steve Fellows, a former customer now
turned SiCap employee.
"I'm not sure if it's helping me lose weight or
not, but I love the stuff. It's great. I use it every time I work out. I go
through the stuff like crazy," says Kevin Baker, a radio personality near
Albany, New York.
