Red Hot Chilli Peppers
You might have loved the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication, but it is not the band we are talking about this time. The rock band might be great but it is the spice we are actually referring to.

The chili contains capsaicin which aids in lowering blood pressure levels and greatly reducing the cholesterol levels in your body. Eating it raw is, however, not advised. Otherwise, you might need milk or water to remove the heat and spiciness from your mouth.
