Spicy Food Linked with Longer Life

[longknife]

For your information, that DOESN'T mean Mexican food! Believe it or not, hot chilis are not always found in Mexican food. It's usually Gringos like me that ask for the spicy stuff to put on it.


As for spicy, ever try Kimchi?

How the “heat” compound from chili peppers could help kill cancer cells @ How the “heat” compound from chili peppers could help kill cancer cells

Interesting! I like a little bit of spice but not too much. I don't like when it's so hot that it just burns your mouth and you can't really taste the food. I do use dried hot peppers in some of my recipes, well the seeds anyway, to add some heat to certain dishes.

If we did and ate everythign linked to longer life we'd probably fall over dead on the spot. What's works in one may not work in another. We each have different genes in play and they determines our longevity much more than lifestyle factors like diet. 3 genes linked to those who live beyond 100, in these long-lived people they're 'on.' In those who die earlier one or more are usually off barring disease and accidents.

Look at how many people lived beyond the current life expectency in times past, even when the then life expectency was half how long they lived. If diet and lifestyle factors actually meant as much as they claim they do, those people should have all died off on schedule. No medicine, no health info beyond common sense stuff, etc. People a couple hundred years ago shoulda all died around 40-50. But many didn't. It's genetic.

To say nothing of the nonsense we get about smoking. Just about every veteran from WW2 smoked. And many lived well beyond 80.

Actually, Mexican food tends to be quite bland. Here in the USA we tend to spice it up a bit. For example, we tend to use lots of paprika on ground beef. That's not typical of food in Mexico.

I don't believe it. It would really depend on the rest of your diet. Kimche and pickled foods in general aren't that good for you. There's no magic bullet. What kills cancer is to not let it develop in the first place, a healthy body won't allow it to form.

We treat it like a parasite, yet they grow back. The only way to have a healthy body is through nutrition, there is no medicine that can compete. Vitamins can help quite a lot but the bottom line is diet and exercise. All the shortcuts do is make other people money and you dead before your time.

If we did and ate everythign linked to longer life we'd probably fall over dead on the spot. What's works in one may not work in another. We each have different genes in play and they determines our longevity much more than lifestyle factors like diet. 3 genes linked to those who live beyond 100, in these long-lived people they're 'on.' In those who die earlier one or more are usually off barring disease and accidents.

Maybe "life expectancy" = BS.

my father died age 67----respiratory failure-----his only problem was emphysema
due to cigarette smoking------a mild habit before he enlisted in the Navy-----1941.
He had no other risk factors---

Heck, almost everyone smoked then. Airliners had cigarette trays in the arm rests. Ashtrays in hospital waiting rooms.

Lots of people die of respiratory failure-----lots of lung cancer. Lots of heart disease aggravated by smoking. ---some forms of peripheral vascular disease
are not even found in non-smokers. It is almost unheard of to find a case of small cell cancer of the lung in a non smoker

I wasn't advocating smoking. I saw a show "The Decade You Were Born" and they said in the 50s the average age of death was 67.

average age of death is not the same as normal life span. death at 67 was
premature even for those born in the 1950s. Death at 67 meant something
went wrong other than simple "old age". What went wrong with him was
cigarette smoking in a normotensive, normal cholesterol, normal weight, non-
diabetic man ----born to parents who both had much longer life spans. Average age of death averages in everything from crib death at five weeks to victims of homicide at 25 ------etc etc --------chronic alcoholism and surf board accident----
even "eaten by a shark" Even in the olden days when the "average" life span was something like 36--------a 70 year old man was like a 70 year old man today.--------just no social security check.

Smoked paprika is way more flavorful than the regular kind. I only buy the smoked kind now.

Well, I think it helps to eat healthy. Of course if heart disease runs in your family, your chances of getting it are good. I think if you smoke, drink too much and eat a bunch of unhealthy foods, you will fast track your way to your final dirt nap.
