Spicy Foods You Should Be Cautious When Eating

Have you ever wondered why spicy foods give us so much pleasure despite the heat and “pain” we get from them? The main reason is that spicy foods stimulate our appetite. Once we feel that burning sensation, we opt to eat them as much as we can. However, too much intake of spicy foods can be harmful and may cause various stomach ailments. Here is a list of some delicious spicy foods, that may have positive and negative effects to us when eaten in vast amount.

This finger licking good crispy fried chicken is really addicting–you can’t eat just one! They are everything you love about comfort food–juicy, crunchy, salty, greasy, and spicy!

So, it’s best to eat in moderation.

Always keep in mind that spicy food is safe for consumption only if taken in proper moderation.
