Chili is scientifically known as Capsicum frutescens L. and is known by various names in English, including Chili and Chilli Pepper. However, if it is a large chilli with a moderate flavor, it is known as a Bell Pepper, Pepper, Paprika, Capsicum, and so on.
Chili is a South American native and has been introduced into Thailand since the early Ayutthaya period. Chili includes a substance known as Capsaicin, which aids in the decrease of excess fat accumulation. It will assist in increasing the rate at which new fat is burned as well as speeding up the burning of existing excess fat. Moreover, it aids in enhancing the level of liver enzymes that are associated with fat breakdown, increasing the body’s metabolism (the process of producing and breaking down), and reducing the amount of fat absorbed by lowering the amount of gastric juice utilized to breakdown fat. Chili can also help to reduce the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol) and increase the production of high-density lipoproteins (HDL or good fat).
