Eat a Green Chili Pepper


Got Headaches?

I am absolutely nuts about Green Chili Peppers! I put them in everything I eat! Well, not really, but I definitely eat my yummy fair share in order to keep Ukrop's Supermarkets in business(Sorry, Ukrops, guess I didn't buy enough.) Anyhoo, yesterday I was curious as to the heath benefit of this little green guy. Check out what I found on this site:

Chili Peppers Fight Migraine Headaches and Sinus Headaches

Studies show that chili peppers can provide pain relief for migraine and sinus headaches. Capsaicin, the chemical that makes chili peppers hot, is known to inhibit a key neuropeptide, Substance P, that is the key brain pain transmitter. Go capsaicin!
