Professor of Medicine Benjamin Littenberg from Vermont University along with medical student Mustafa Chopan believe they have the secret to a longer life. Following a study of 16,000 Americans over a 23 year period, findings revealed that those who consumed red hot chili peppers and other spicy foods had a higher mortality rate than less spice-loving individuals. Out of the 16,000 people, the one\u2019s who consumed the most chili\u2019s were young(er) white Mexican-American carnivorous married men. They also eat more vegetables. Their HDL cholesterol is lower, as is their income and level of education in comparison with those who didn\u2019t eat the chili peppers. Apparently, cigarettes and alcohol did not appear to reduce the life expectancy of these guys.<\/p>\n
Professor Littenberg says that chili-peppers contain a chemical called \u2018capsaicin\u2019 and this affects the body\u2019s Transient Receptor Potential channels which act like microscopic thermometer\u2019s sensing hot or cold. They are activated by molecules found in spices like chili pepper\u2019s. Capsaicin is also believed to play a role in preventing obesity.<\/p>\n
The bottom line? Professor Littenberg says that if we eat spicy food, in particular red hot chili peppers, then we are likely to live 13% longer than those who don’t eat them. Let\u2019s draw some cards for the professor.<\/p>\n
We drew the Seven of Hearts, the Three of Pentacles and the Eight of Pentacles.<\/p>\n
The Seven of Hearts <\/b>
\nThis reveals that this study was close to Professor Littenberg\u2019s heart. He believes that the scientists and researchers are there to provide guidance backed up with evidence in order to support humanity.<\/p>\n
The Three of Pentacles <\/b>
\nThis represents the perseverance and consistent efforts of the happy laborer\u2019s wishing to find their truth.<\/p>\n
The Eight of Pentacles<\/b>
\nThis says that the study was very much a labor of love. Human life cannot be quantified in monetary terms, but the money needed to undertake the research had to come from somewhere. The funding was there and the study was considered a success.<\/p>\n
<\/b> I feel that the results surprised many people, Professor Littenberg has draw a line under this particular study and will continue to undertake research in a bid to extend and improve quality of life.<\/p>\n
