Good news, Spice fans:
Adding heat to your meal can boost your calorie burn. Capsaicin, the chemical that gives peppers like jalapenos, habaneros, and poblanos their heat, can make your body increase its calorie burn for hours after you eat them, according to a UCLA study. The peppers,improve your body's ability to clear insulin from your bloodstream, which means you might store less of what you eat as fat. So garnish chicken or fish with salsa, and look for other opportunities to add a little spice to your life!
