There's a weird misconception that food with flavor is unhealthy, creating a culture where people think healthy food can't be fun or tasty. This misconception extends to thinking spicy food is unhealthy, but it's really about knowing your tolerance and moderation.
Eating extremely spicy foods like those in challenges can lead to distress. While a 14-year-old died after the 'Paqui One Chip Challenge,' most people consume milder spicy foods. Spicy food isn't inherently unhealthy; it's about balance.
Capsaicin in spicy foods causes a burning sensation, stimulating nerves. Some believe peppers evolved this way to deter mammals. Consuming milder spice levels can enhance food flavors without causing excessive discomfort or harm.
