People Who Eat Chili Pepper May Live Longer – Reduced Risk of Dying From Cardiovascular Disease or Cancer
Preliminary research that will be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2020 indicates that individuals who consume chili peppers may live longer and may have a significantly reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease or cancer. This finding applies to people who consume chili peppers. A premier global exchange of the most recent scientific advancements, research, and evidence-based clinical practice updates in cardiovascular science for global health care will take place virtually from November 13 to November 17, 2020.
Capsaicin, which gives chili pepper its characteristic mild to intense spice when eaten, has been found to have an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and blood-glucose-regulating effect in previous studies. Researchers screened 4,729 studies from five leading global health databases—Ovid, Cochrane, M-E line, E M base, and Scopus—to investigate the effects of chili pepper on mortality from all causes and cardiovascular disease. Four large studies, each with data on chili pepper consumption and health outcomes for participants, are included in their final analysis.
The results of those who consumed chili pepper were compared to those of those who rarely or never ate chili pepper, using the health and dietary records of more than 570,000 people in Iran, Italy, China, and the United States. The analysis revealed that chili pepper eaters had the following characteristics in comparison to those who ate it rarely or never: a relative decrease in cardiovascular mortality of 26 percent;
A relative decrease in cancer mortality of 23% and a relative decrease in all-cause mortality of 25%
We were surprised to learn that these previously published studies found that regular consumption of chili peppers reduced mortality from all causes, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. According to senior author B O X U, MD, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, "it highlights that dietary factors may play an important role in overall health".
However, the specific reasons and mechanisms that could account for our findings are currently unknown. As a result, it is impossible to conclude that consuming more chili peppers can reduce mortality rates, particularly from cardiovascular disease and cancer. To confirm these preliminary findings, additional research, particularly randomized controlled studies, is required.
According to Dr X U, there are a number of limitations to this kind of study. The four studies that were looked at had very little specific information about people's health or other things that could have influenced the results. The researcher also noted that the number and type of chili peppers consumed varied between studies, making it challenging to determine precisely how much, how frequently, and which type of chili peppers may be linked to health benefits. The researchers hope to publish the complete paper soon after they continue to analyze their data.
