Defy Age Naturally

Scientists have proven that capsaicin, which is responsible for the burning sensation when we eat chillies, can kill cancer cells, indicating that people could at least prevent the onset of cancer by eating these spicy super foods. That is because it is a natural antioxidant supplement.

Dr Timothy Bates who made the discovery says that “This is incredibly exciting and may explain why people living in countries like Mexico and India, who traditionally eat a diet which is very spicy, tend to have lower incidences of many cancers that are prevalent in the western world.”

According to Bates, capsaicin attacks the power house of the tumour, thus killing the cancerous tumour cells and reducing tumour growth, while not appearing to harm surrounding healthy cells.

Other Benefits of Hot Super Foods Include:
