What Happens When You Actually Eat the Spice

Spicy foods aren’t just fun - they’re functional.

Capsaicin activates TRPV1 receptors, which stimulate thermogenesis, help regulate appetite, and may reduce inflammation over time (NIH). One study even found regular chili intake improved satiety and increased post-meal calorie burn.

That means:

You feel full faster
You stay focused longer
Your digestive system gets a gentle activation

And if you’re spice-sensitive? Research suggests low, regular doses of capsaicin may desensitize reflux triggers and support gut function over time (PubMed).

Mini FAQs

What if I’m sensitive to spice?

You know your limits. We are here to let you know that the Inferno has balanced heat, it is flavorful and not overwhelming. Plus, capsaicin in small amounts may actually reduce digestive discomfort over time.

Is porchetta too heavy for lunch?

Not in this build. L’INFERNO balances porchetta with grilled veggies and bitter greens. Satisfying without the crash.

Does spicy food really help with metabolism?

Yes, capsaicin, found in chili peppers like those in ‘nduja, can increase thermogenesis and calorie burn while reducing appetite.
