Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Dried Green Chili Pepper
Metabolic Effect: Dried green chili pepper can help accelerate metabolism and burn fat. Thanks to the capsaicin it contains, it creates a thermogenic effect and increases energy expenditure.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume it by adding it to your meals, sauces or soups. It is recommended to consume it with yogurt or buttermilk to balance its spicy taste.
Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause heartburn, reflux or digestive problems. Especially those with sensitive stomachs should consume it carefully.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one dried chili pepper, it is enough to take a light-paced walk for about 8 minutes. This is a period that can be easily included in your daily activity.
