5 Side Effects Too Often Eat Spicy That Must Be Watched

JAKARTA - For many people, eating without chili or chili tastes are incomplete. The spicy taste can indeed increase appetite and is considered healthy if consumed within reasonable limits.

However, consuming spicy food too often can cause various health problems that should not be underestimated. Here are 5 side effects that can occur if you eat too often spicy, as reported by the Healthshots page on Saturday, April 26.

One of the most common impacts of excessive spicy food consumption is digestive disorders, such as stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea. Capsaicin compounds in chili can irritate the stomach and intestines, especially if consumed in large quantities. This can trigger a hot feeling in the stomach, nausea, and even defecation disorders.

Although chilies do not directly cause stomach hatchlings, spicy foods can worsen these conditions if you have experienced stomach hatchlings. The spicy taste can stimulate the production of excess stomach acid. This exacerbates the wound on the stomach and causes greater pain. Not only stomach hatchlings, gastritis sufferers should also avoid spicy food until the condition really recovers.

Some people believe that spicy food can help burn calories. In fact, spicy food is often consumed with fatty or sweet foods. A pungent spicy taste can also trigger a desire to eat drinks and sweet foods. If it happens often, over time it can have an impact on gaining weight.

Eating too much spicy can speed up the digestive process which causes food to move faster in the intestines. As a result, you can experience diarrhea or defecation that feels hot and uncomfortable. In some cases, this condition can interfere with daily activities and cause mild dehydration.

One of the side effects that are rarely realized is the severe headache that can appear suddenly after eating spicy, especially the spicy type of chili is very strong. This type of headache is known as the headache thunderclap, which occurs due to changes in blood flow in the brain. Although the case is rare, it is still important to be wary of, especially if you feel dizzy or have a headache after eating spicy food.
