Spicy Food Reduces Risk of Heart Disease

Blessed are you who like spicy, because it can avoid heart disease caused by excessive salt consumption. The so-called spicy foods can reduce the sensitivity of the tongue to salt, thereby reducing the desire to eat salty foods, according to a study in China.
