It speeds up your metabolism, and it helps you clear sinus problems. You can actually lose weight to a degree with hot spicy foods. I love it hot, the hotter the better.

It raises the metabolism temporarily & helps people cool off. Hence, so many equatorial cuisines have hot & spicy food. It also aids in digestion and pushes things slong.

chiles are high in compounds known as Bioflavonoids.
These compounds are powerful anti-inflammitories. Bioflavonoids are also noted to help blood vessel walls strengthen and lessen bleeding.

I believe chiles are also high in B vitamins (...so especially good for those who don't eat enough leafy green veggies, etc. to get them).

Many chillies are very high in vitamin C. If you eat some while sick, they will boost your immune system as well as clear you sinuses!
