Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Chili Powder

  • Metabolic Effect: Chili powder, thanks to the capsaicin it contains, accelerates metabolism and creates a thermogenic effect. This can help the body burn more calories.
  • Consumption Suggestion: You can add flavor to your meals or soups by adding a pinch. However, those with stomach sensitivity should be careful.
  • Things to Consider: Excessive consumption can lead to heartburn or digestive problems. One teaspoon of chili powder will add a distinct spiciness to your dish.
  • Exercise Equivalent: About 5 minutes of light-paced activity may be enough to burn the calories you get from chili powder. However, its main benefit is accelerating metabolism.
