Why does my face turn red when I eat spicy food

In people's daily lives, many people have a very strong taste and prefer to eat spicy food. However, not everyone can eat spicy food. Some people will have red faces after eating spicy food. This situation is very likely caused by allergies and people need to pay special attention to it. Here is a detailed introduction to why people blush after eating spicy food.

If the symptoms have only appeared recently, you may be allergic to chili peppers. Because chili peppers are spicy and toxic, excessive consumption can turn moisture in the body into heat, which can manifest as skin acne, increased blood pressure, worsening hemorrhoids, nosebleeds, etc. If you consume chili peppers in large quantities and for a long time, it will cause symptoms of poisoning, such as burning sensation in the stomach, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and even vomiting blood, hematuria, nosebleed, and increased or decreased blood pressure.

It is also possible that you have not been sleeping well recently. You can go to the hospital for a check-up in time. Chili peppers are spicy and poisonous. Overeating can cause moisture in the body to turn into heat, which can manifest as skin acne, high blood pressure, worsening hemorrhoids, nosebleeds, etc. Capsaicin, the main ingredient of chili pepper, has a certain effect on the circulatory system and can cause a temporary drop in blood pressure, a slow heartbeat and difficulty breathing. Pay attention to your eating habits, avoid spicy foods and seafood, get enough rest, drink plenty of water, and avoid eating chili foods.

There are three important aspects:

1. Chili pepper can be used as a stomachic: Capsaicin is found in high content in fresh chili peppers. It can stimulate the salivary glands in the mouth, increase saliva secretion, speed up gastrointestinal motility, and facilitate the digestion and absorption of food.

2. Chili pepper can be used as a nutrient: Fresh chili pepper contains a lot of vitamins A, C and carotene, and is one of the nutritious vegetables. However, the vitamins in dried chili pepper are lost a lot, so it only has a seasoning effect.

3. Chili pepper can be used as a loss preventive agent: Because capsaicin can stimulate the cardiovascular system, speed up the heartbeat and blood circulation, so after eating chili pepper, people will feel hot, heartbeat, and face flushed.

In humid or cold places, eating some chili peppers can help remove dampness and cold. Drinking chili pepper soup when you have a cold can help you sweat and is beneficial to recovery from the cold. Using chili pepper water to scald unbroken frostbite, or applying an ointment made from chili peppers, can treat frostbite. However, eating a large amount of spicy peppers containing high levels of capsaicin will cause excessive secretion of digestive juices, causing congestion and edema of the gastrointestinal mucosa, and increased gastrointestinal motility, which is not conducive to the recovery of digestive tract diseases. Eating too many peppers will cause the heart rate to increase excessively and the circulating blood volume to increase dramatically, which is not conducive to the recovery of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, people with fever, ulcers, chronic gastroenteritis, hemorrhoids, hypertension and other diseases should eat less or try not to eat chili peppers to avoid the spicy taste hurting the body. In addition, patients with fever should not eat chili peppers because capsaicin can increase blood pressure and body temperature.
