Spicy food is one of the culinary tastes of the Indonesian people. Eating spicy food does have its own pleasure rather than food that is not spicy. But, do you know there are times when we have to stop consuming spicy foods?
Behind its enjoyment, spicy culinary also brings side effects to the body. Too much spicy eating can cause acne to occur with gastritis. Reporting on Insider, the following signals are given by the body as a sign that you have to stop eating spicy food.
Stomach like burning
A burning sensation of stomach feels when the flow of acid in the stomach turns towards the feeding channel. As a result, heat is experienced around the stomach and chest. "Spicy pepper, spicy curry, and other spicy dishes trigger the stomach sap to turn to the esophagus which causes burning," said doctor Janette Nesheiwat.
In addition, spicy foods contain what is called capsaicin. Capsaicin is able to slow digestion. Therefore, food lasts longer in the stomach which increases the risk of burning.
Acne
Ingredients that carry a spicy flavor can trigger the appearance of irritation in the skin including acne. After eating spicy food, body temperature rises and produces sweat. Sweat triggers the release of oil through the skin. According to dermatologist Rebecca Tung, when dirt and bacteria are trapped in oil, that's when pimples and other skin problems appear.
