Foods with chili peppers
But it is full of taboos
In fact, the mysterious skill of being able to eat spicy or not is that our body will feel "capsaicin" through something called "TRPV receptor" and send a "spicy" signal to the brain! It will bring people a feeling of burning and pain~ The effect of this thing is to make everyone have a different sensitivity to "spicy"! Therefore, people who can't eat spicy food are too sensitive to spicy in your "genes", which is why the slight spicy in other people's mouths is unbearable spicy in your own mouth.
Isn't everyone an impression. Eating with girls, the male compatriots are sweating profusely, and the girls basically have no reaction? Spicy hot pot restaurants, Hunan restaurants, and Sichuan restaurants are often as beautiful as clouds? I always feel that the girls around me are generally more spicy than the boys. It turns out that girls are indeed more spicy.
People who like to eat spicy food are because their body produces endorphins, which are hormones that increase nerve pleasure and suppress pain. Because of their physiological structure and hormone levels, women are born with more endorphins than men, so women are more fond of spicy food, and spicy brings more pleasure to women.
When you eat the chili pepper and the initial hot pain subsides, you should start to feel high. When you're feeling a little depressed, eat a chili meal.
