A recent study conducted by the University’s Sensory Evaluation Center suggests that incorporating chili peppers in meals can effectively aid in managing appetite and potentially assist in weight management. Researchers found that spiciness in meals leads to slower eating, resulting in reduced food consumption without compromising the meal’s taste. Adding chilies could be a simple yet effective strategy for individuals looking to cut calories and control their appetite. The study also delves into the impact of spicy foods on calorie intake and provides insights into how spices could play a role in portion control and overall energy consumption.
