Thai Spice

Thai dishes are notorious for being hot, but Thai women are also notorious for being hot-looking. There’s a connection! Very spicy food causes us to eat more slowly. Why is this good? Have you ever heard pop music being played at a fast-food restaurant?  It’s to encourage people to eat faster. When you eat faster, you eat too quickly for your brain to realize that your stomach is full. Because we think we are not full, we overeat and get fat. Hot peppers such as Thai peppers also raise your body’s metabolism so it burns through calories faster.
