Chillies --- an Answer to Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases!

An answer to the diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are in the pipeline.

Take it from Kiran Ahuja, Science research fellow in University of Tasmania School of Human Life.

Despite development in the processes for prevention and treatment in cardiovascular diseases they pose considerably higher rate of mortality all over the world, especially in the countries of backward economy.

Yes, chillies are the answer. It has been experimentally observed that capsaicinoid chemicals may be used successfully to lower blood glucose and insulin level. They are capable of lowering the rate of formation of fatty contents deposited in the artery walls and thus preventing the chances of blood clotting. Capsaicinoid chemicals may be doubly helpful for the patients as they will stand as a great relief from the side effects which are still being experienced as some unavoidable burden in case of the traditional medicines.

Chillies are sure to replace aspirins or at best they may be used as a combination with aspirins. Aspirins work as a great reliever even today. But they award bleeding in the stomach of the patients and hence produce nasty side-effects.

Professor Johanna Laybourn-Parry, pro vice-chancellor for research in University of Tasmania School of Human Life, is very much optimistic about the biological services available from capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin.
