Chili Peppers
Chili peppers contain capsaicin, an antioxidant that may help you reach and maintain healthy body weight. Capsaicin also helps you burn body fat and calories [12]. Studies have shown how this compound affects metabolism in the body.
In one study [13] of 19 adult participants who reduced their calorie intake by 20 percent, capsaicin helped offset the reduced metabolism associated with low consumption of calories.
A review of studies [14] also found that this compound effectively boosts your ability to burn calories and reduces appetite. These both contribute to weight loss and influence how your body regulates fat.
