I searched the Web for to learn more about the longevity effect of spicy food and I was most surprised by the answer. If your digestion can tolerate it, eating spicy food on a daily basis can actually extend your lifespan!
According to the Harvard School of Public Health an observational study of a half a million people in China was done from 2004 -2008. After following up with them a few years later, it was found that those who ate spicy food every day, particularly food with fresh and dried chili peppers, had a 14% lower risk of death than those who ate spicy food only once per week.
