On June 22, 2.020, at 8:00 PM, capsicum is considered a possible fat-burning food for weight loss, but is it effective? Nutritionist Liu Yili pointed out that 'capsaicin' in capsicum is the key ingredient that boosts metabolism and promotes fat burning. While capsicum has whitening and eye protection effects, there is a type of spicy condiment that weight loss seekers should avoid. Capsaicin stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, increases metabolic rate, and effectively suppresses appetite, aiding in weight control when consumed appropriately. However, Liu Yili advises against eating capsicum on an empty stomach to prevent stomach discomfort, and to stop consuming it in cases of acid reflux or stomach pain. Removing capsicum seeds can reduce spiciness while enjoying its benefits safely, and weight loss individuals should avoid 'capsicum oil' which increases fat intake and is detrimental to weight control.
