Chilli As Medication

University of Tasmania scientists who were on a lookout of the way the spicy fruit affects blood stated that chilli might at one certain point of time replace aspirin for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Okay, that's something I never knew about. Who would have thought chilli could replace aspirin to prevent and treat diabetes and cardiovascular? No one I think, not even you. Don't you think so otherwise? Chillis were only meant to be eaten for seasonings, mostly by Chinese, especially Malaysians and Singaporeans. Though I do believe some Westerners love chilli too, it depends though.

Nevertheless, I googled if chillis could be medications and guess what I found. I found a product called El Yingo Chilli Drops that is a tool to ward off infections and other illnesses that can affect us all. El Yingo uses a chinese formula, passed down through five generations, bottling Australian grown chillis. It did not state what infections or illnesses but it's proof that chillis are already proven in Australia to be medications.

However, it's proven that chillis could trigger a severe disease called psoriasis, which defines itches. It is caused by food and environment allergy, and at certain points of time, stress. Should we all be afraid now to not eat too much chilli?

No matter how, is this news? Yes, it is. It does not contain a strong source to support, where a specialist in this area like maybe a scientist could do better instead of a research fellow at a university's school of life sciences. Nevertheless, the information given by this fellow about the two ingredients in chilli are capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicn that seems to have the ability to lower blood glucose and insulin levels, reduce the form of fatty deposits in artery walls and prevent blood clots, is informing us all on what ingredients chilli have and how these can help our body systems that is for the public's better ... something we may have not heard about. Seriously, I've never heard of this before. Have you?! I thought chilli was just a seasoning and since it's so spicy I thought it ain't good to eat too much.

A good proof has been included with Dr Ahuja's statement that capsaicin was tested to show effect on platelet or aggregation or known as the clotting of blood. I'll believe in that since she herself has admitted that it's been tested. Surely, proof tried on volunteers could do more convincing. It'd make me more convinced. Wouldn't it to you?!

Dr Ahuja's explanation on how chilli could help reduce diabetes in an individual's body system. That's something convincing. The research's not finished yet. Still, it would do better if she could include volunteers to try chillis to prove that it helps cure diabetes and cardiovascular disease. I'll be more convinced. And maybe a video on this matter would do good too. Besides, people nowadays seem to be more drawn more into watching videos than just text alone.

Nevertheless, this is some extraordinary news. I've never knew about this before. Sucht a new found discovery. Maybe I should eat more chillis now. It's my favorite anyway. Oh what a relief. I don't have to be cautious when eating chilli now. I can prevent diabetes and cardiovascular, oh hooray.

This works so well for news though more could be added to make it a successful news to convince people.
