Spicy food has been linked with ailments such as ulcers and stomach illnesses in the past but these are all myths. Spicy foods enjoyed in moderation are actually very good for you. For example red chili peppers protect the lining of your stomach. They contain calcium as well as vitamin A and C and there is some research done that says hot chili peppers can actually help reduce cardiovascular disease. Also hot chili peppers help prevent the buildup of bad cholesterol in the blood. Best of all chilli's boost metabolism by making us feel full for longer and helping us burn fats. Remember spicy food is good as long as it is not abused because to much of anything is bad. Hot chili peppers are the best example that provide a variety of benefits as do many other spices. Lets see the statistics of spicy food in peoples diet at Nelson High School represented by two graphs.
The first graph represents the first question on my survey, do you enjoy spicy food? I surveyed 10 people from Nelson High School and 90% of them said that they do enjoy spicy food with the exception of 1. This is very good as it shows the Nelson community is diverse in terms of their diet as not many communities enjoy spicy foods as much the Nelson community.
The second graph is a donuts graph that represents the people who have a favourite spice vs. those who do not. 60% of the people at Nelson do have a favourite spice and 40% do not. This means that out of the nine people from the previous graph only 60% of them actually have preferred taste for their spicy food. So that is about 5 out of 4 people who names their favourite spices like cinnamon, curry, cumin, nutmeg, black pepper.
It is very good to know that the Nelson community is incorporating spice into their diet and making life hot as it is very beneficial to their health contrary to the myths that spicy food has been linked with.
