Here are some of the benefits of red chili to your diet (source):

1. Boosts Immunity: Did you know red chilies have more vitamin C than oranges? This vitamin strengthens your immune system. While they won’t prevent colds entirely, they might help you recover faster.
2. Supports Heart Health: The heat in chilies comes from capsaicin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps improve blood circulation, keeps bad cholesterol in check, and may lower the risk of heart disease.
3. Aids Weight Loss: Chilies boost metabolism, help burn more calories, and even curb cravings—making it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan.
