Do you have to feel the burning of chilies for it to be good for you?




Sinh


I've known that chili boosts your metabolism and is really healthy for you, but today, I was eating Vietnamese sandwiches and they usually have those long green peppers in there and I usually try to avoid those, but I've gotten used to the burning so I just ate the whole thing. It wasn't even spicy. It was a tiny, tiny bit spicy, but not enough to make a kid freak out from the burning. I was just wondering if it's the spiciness that boosts the metabolism and not the actual chili.


Answer
The active ingredient in chilies is Capsaicin. The hotter the pepper the more capsaicin, more health benefits - http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/health-benefits-of-peppers

My stomach hangs over my pants.?

I used to be fat, and now i think im getting fat again! I keep trying to go back to my good habits, but it's so hard.I just want to squeeze this freaking fat a** flab off. It's so annoying...i hate when my shirts rub it...it's nasty, and it makes me really self conscious and it makes me feel soooo ugly!

I need words of encouragement and motivation!



Answer
I'm sure you're a beautiful person who's perfect just the way you are.
Unfortunately, people telling you that isn't going to change your weight if you really do want to lose weight. Look on the bright side: you aren't morbidly obese, and you can do something about the little flab. Exercise and eating right get super boring, so here's some stuff to change it up a bit.

EXERCISE:

⢠Swim!

⢠Run by the beach or in the water (it's super fun and refreshing haha)

⢠Try a cross training machine at the gym! (they're actually really fun)

⢠Get a stationary or real bike and try to ride it for a couple minutes a day. Ask your friends to go with you and go fun places, like to get a smoothie or to the beach.

⢠Try a dance or Zumba class at your local dance studio or community center. Hip hop could be fun, too.

ALSO..

Cut back on fast food, sugary drinks, and sweet stuff. Limit yourself to one soda and fast food meal every two weeks, and try to grab a couple chocolate chips or fruit with honey when you crave something sweet. Drink sparkly fruit juice instead of soda and try these DELICIOUS snap peas instead of chips. http://snacksalad.com/products.html

GOOD LUCK! You can do it! :) **hugs**
