5 health benefits of homemade pepper sauce

Burn off fat

Both hot and sweet peppers may enhance weight-loss efforts. Research has shown that capsaicin-the substance that gives hot red peppers their heat, can boost our metabolism-keeps immature fat cells from developing into full-fledged ones.

Control cholesterol, improve heart health and prevent stroke

Another benefit of capsaicin: A study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that adding hot peppers to daily meals may protect against the build-up of cholesterol in the blood compared with eating a bland diet.

The hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. Whether you like them hot or sweet, peppers contain lots of B vitamins. One cup of chopped pepper has 36 percent of your daily vitamin B6 and 10 percent of folate (also a B vitamin); red peppers contain 35 and seven percent, respectively; and yellow peppers, 20 and 10 percent.

A Japanese study published this year looked at more than 35,000 women, age 40 to 79 years, who had completed a food-frequency questionnaire.

Researchers found that the higher the dietary intakes of both folate and B6, the lower the risk of death from stroke, coronary heart disease and total cardiovascular disease for women.

Keep arthritis at bay

Half a cup of chopped green, red or yellow sweet peppers has almost double your daily needs of vitamin C. Researchers at the University of Manchester in England found that study participants who were in the lowest category of vitamin C intake had more than a three-fold increased risk of inflammatory arthritis compared to those with the highest intake.

Lower your risk of breast cancer

Lower sodium diet

Since pepper is a natural flavour enhancer regular use may result in a lower sodium diet since you will use less salt to flavour food. This is provided that the pepper sauce itself does not contain any salt.
