Eating Right With Spicy Foods

Does diet food have to come in pre-packaged healthy meals from the companies that offer weeks of healthy eating plans on TV? Or from warehouse club stores that sell crates of grapefruits to fit into fad diets? The answer is no. Components of healthy diets are available in a much more convenient and practical place: your local grocery store.

One ingredient that is always in stock is capsaicin. It may not sound familiar to you because It's actually the compound that gives the spicy kick to hot red peppers. More importantly, it can also kick your metabolism into a higher gear. One researcher, Dr. Toshio Moritani (PhD) of Japan's Kyoto University, says that the amount of capsaicin needed to achieve elevated calorie-burning levels can actually be consumed through healthy diets.

A research study conducted by Dr. Moritani and his colleagues sought out to discover what capsaicin has to offer regarding how to eat healthy for weight loss. Female study participants consumed a curried rice meal containing 3mg of capsaicin. The researchers found that calorie-burning rates increased by 10%. This effect was only measured for 30 minutes, but 24 hours of a 10% increase would burn an extra 129 calories a day.

Researchers would agree that healthy meals containing enough capsaicin to work for healthy weight loss would just be too hot and impractical. Adding 7 cups of coffee to daily diet plans would be effective, but it is impractical. The same is true for eating hot red peppers as a diet food all day. In fact, some studies that attempted to measure the high calorie-burning rates of capsaicin-rich diets saw participants drop out. Stomach discomfort is a common problem when large quantities are consumed.

As you may have read in our article 'Coffee holds a secret about how to eat healthy,' healthy eating plans should take advantage of multiple different ingredients that work together towards a common goal of healthy weight loss. Capsaicin can follow this same theory by being combined with caffeine, green tea, and cinnamon to provide a moderate and sensible increase in calories burned every day. The role of capsaicin is to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. This ingredient offers only the positive and healthy effects.

Healthy diets involve exercising and eating right, and can be enhanced by Prograde Metabolism. This convenient capsule uses hot red pepper, caffeine, green tea, and cinnamon to provide you with healthy weight loss support.
