My Debilitating Addiction

[Bass Junky]

Hello, My name is Pete, and I'm a Chilliholic.

I cannot stop eating things with chilli in them.

I have a genuine addiction to all hot foods. I add chilli to everything and jalepenos whereever I can.

Thai food must be the "Thai Hot" style.

Pasta must be ammatriciana with extra chilli.

Pizza must be mexican with extra chilli.

Steak has either chilli relish or chilli BBQ sauce.

Am I psychologically addicted or psychologically addicted?

Is it a bad addiction?

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm the same in regards to chilli addiction but must admit that my stomach can't handle what it used to while the rest of me (tastebuds, tongue etc) still can.

The mind is willing but the body now weak.

Moderation my friend or you wont be able to enjoy chilli indefinitely.

It is an addiction, you get an endorphin hit from the chilli.

Try living in Thailand for a month at a time and you start to experiment with all the different chilli tastes, as well as always having a tallie of Thai brewed Heinekin at your elbow.

I make a fantastic Green curry and Thai spring roll (I did the classes of course) but unfortunately my wife is not keen on the extra spicy stuff so I generally keep things to her tastes. I'll mail through the recipes, or maybe just post them on here.

POST POST POST - Both normal human being quantities and 'Ring-Stinger' quantities!

[Bass Junky]

[Bec]

Chilli Health: Chillis are loaded with vitamin A, a potent antioxidant and boost to the immune system. As the pods mature and darken, high quantities of vitamin C are gradually replaced with beta carotene and the capsaicin levels are at their highest. Due to these capsaicin levels, some believe that eating chillis may have an extra thermic affect, temporarily speeding up the metabolic rate, hence burning off calories at a faster rate. Whatever, you certainly do sweat and actually cool down in hot climates as sweat evaporates. Your nose runs, your head clears ... you can breath! And with that extra flow of saliva, the gastric juices also flow. The alkaloids from the capsaicin stimulate the action of stomach and intestine improving the whole digestion process!

Beyond soothing gastric wonders and taste delights, the very nature of fiery capsaicin has been medicinally beneficial down through the ages and put to use for some chronic health woes. These same heat inducing properties have a cumulative effect and over time are believed to alleviate pain when used in transdermal treatments for arthritis, nerve disorders (neuralgia), shingles and severe burns ... even cluster headaches. The mucus thinning properties promote coughing and can act as an expectorant for asthmatic conditions. Other claims are boosts to the immune system due to the antioxidants, lowering cholesterol, and blood thinning properties beneficial for the heart and blood vessels.
