Chili peppers are a common ingredient in the Mexican diet . Eating peppers releases endorphins which are the chemicals in charge of provoking pleasure.
In addition, this food helps increase the levels of serotonin in the brain, which generates a sense of well-being. This sensation increases the more chili peppers are consumed.
Despite its benefits, gastroenterologist Héctor Gómez Jaramillo from IMSS mentions that “unmeasured consumption [of chili peppers] can damage organs like the rectum and the large intestine, causing irritation, diarrhea, inflammation, and severe pain.”
