Cayenne for cardiovascular health.
Posted by Abram Lazootin on
Cayenne pepper has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for various health purposes, including cardiovascular health. It is rich in a compound called capsaicin, which is responsible for its spicy flavor and many of its health benefits.
Studies have suggested that cayenne pepper may have a positive effect on cardiovascular health. Capsaicin has been shown to help reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and improve blood flow to the heart. It may also help prevent the formation of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
One study published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that taking cayenne pepper supplements for eight weeks helped to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in people with hypertension. Another study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that taking capsaicin supplements for six weeks helped to improve blood flow to the heart in healthy adults.
You can try a herbal preparation of equal parts cayenne, ginger and turmeric powder and then put this into a size 00 capsule. Take 1 capsule 3 times a day with food.
