[TIL] Men Who Consume Pepper Have More Testosterone 💪

in #til9 years ago

I always liked pepper. This wonder is part of Brazilian cuisine. Difficult you go to a bar or restaurant here in Brazil (unless it is luxury) and you don't find on the table a jar with pepper sauce to put in the food. I really appreciate putting the sauce or the pepper in my meals, especially at lunch, or in the meat. Anyway ... I'm a fan of this delicious and very hot delicacy called pepper.

The lesson I learned today is that the high level of pepper consumption by men can be reflected in the increased level of testosterone. Testosterone we know is the male hormone responsible for the increase in characteristics such as aggression, recklessness and increased sexual appetite in man. This was confirmed by researchers at the University of Genoble in France who tested 114 middle-aged men, where after a part of that group had eaten spicy foods, underwent a saliva collection test and found that their testosterone levels increased after consumption of pepper-flavored foods.
