Anyone know the benefits of taking cayenne pepper?

Most of the reading I’ve done say cayenne improves circulation. FYI, I put it in my vegetable juices when I’m experiencing cold hands/feet. My husband sprinkles it in his socks to keep his toes warm in the winter. We use non-irradiated cayenne from our local health food store.

Cayenne pepper is a very beneficial spice.  Any hot spices serves to increase the metablolism slightly due to the increase in body temperature.  Cayenne pepper specifically has been shown to decrease the cholesterol in the arteries, and help to increase heart and lung health.   Not to mention it is great for clearing up the sinuses when you are stuffed from from either sinusitis or a cold. It also has been shown to help ulcers.  Don’t ask me how!  But I have an ulcer and cayenne has never set it off. And it is tasty too … I would say the only thing to be cautious of is taking it if you have a weak heart – I would not want to start off really strong then. Hope that helped some.  I am just trying to remember this off the top of my head. — I finally got it all together . . . then I forgot where I put it. Katy Supreme Blonde One (Two)
