in your food tends to raise the body temperature through thermogenesis and thereby boosts up your metabolism efficiently. As per Medylife, a simple bowl of chili can help you to boost up your metabolism about 8% and burn a bit of fat too!
Burn your fat faster:
Eating spicy food can not only curb your appetite but also can help you in burning fat relatively faster.
As per a research published in “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,” spicy food does not contribute much to energy loss, but it does promote fat burning among overweight people.
However, adding excessive spices can be harmful to your health. Do not push yourself to consume spicy food, if you do not like it at all. Try to add a pinch of ginger or cardamom in your tea or a pinch of pepper in your omelet to enhance the flavor gradually.
