YOGYAKARTA - Spicy food lovers certainly find it difficult to miss the sensation of food that burns the tongue. However, you must start limiting the consumption of chili to maintain long-term body health, especially for adult men.
There are various effects of eating too much spicy food for men that have a negative impact on vital organs. Don't let this momentary pleasure actually trigger serious medical problems for you.
The Relationship between Masculine Hormones and ChiliMany people believe that spicy food reflects a man's masculine side. In fact, a study in France found a close link between male hormones and the hobby of eating chili.
The research from the University of Grenoble-Alps with the title "Some Like It Hot" involved 114 men aged 18-44 years. They were presented mashed potatoes with spicy chili sauce and salt.
The results of the research published in the journal Physiology and Behavior showed a clear correlation in the participants' saliva. Men with high levels of the hormone testosterone tend to pour more hot sauce.
Bold and Macho LifestyleAnother study from Pennsylvania State University published in GQ magazine also revealed a unique fact. Research on 246 subjects tested spicy preferences against their personalities.
Turns out, men often claim to like spicy food not because of the taste, but for the praise of the environment. There is social satisfaction when they are judged to be strong and brave in facing the sensation of extreme food.
High testosterone does trigger risky behaviors such as gambling or extreme sports. So it's no wonder, men with this hormone feel challenged to eat super spicy food.

Disrupted Nighttime Sleep CyclesIn addition to hormonal problems, bad habits of eating spicy food also trigger severe sleep disorders at night. The constant sensation of heat in the stomach makes it difficult for you to rest peacefully.
Your core body temperature will soar up shortly after consuming excessive capsaicin. As a result, deep sleep is disrupted and you will often wake up because you feel uncomfortable.
Lack of sleep certainly lowers the physical stamina and focus of men the next day. This kind of lifestyle is very detrimental to your body's productivity and fitness in the long run.
The Dark Side of Digestion and SpermBehind the sensation of challenging it, there is a terrible effect of eating too much spicy food for men. The substance capsaicin in chili if consumed in excess can erode your stomach wall.
As a result, you can suffer from acute stomach irritation, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), to hemorrhoids. These diseases will certainly be very painful and interfere with your daily activities.
The most fatal impact is the threat to the quality and quantity of male sperm. The body temperature that rises drastically due to spicy food can disrupt the testicular environment where sperm is produced.
