Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Red Pepper Powder (Hot)

  • Metabolic Effect: Red pepper powder, thanks to the capsaicin it contains, speeds up metabolism and creates a thermogenic effect. This increases body temperature, supports energy expenditure, and can help burn fat.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It can be added to dishes and soups as a spice. While enhancing the flavor of the dishes, its metabolism-boosting effect can also be utilized.
  • Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause discomfort in people with stomach sensitivity. One teaspoon of red pepper powder adds a distinct spiciness to the dish while also providing antioxidant support.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn 417 calories, you may need to do about 1 hour of brisk walking or 30 minutes of running. This should be supported by your regular exercise habits.
