Hot news for insomniacs - eat chillies

 

SYDNEY (AFP) - Eating chillis regularly could help people get a good

night's sleep and keep their hearts healthy.

 

Researchers at the University of Tasmania spent the past 18 months

studying the potential health benefits of chillies on a group of 10

volunteers, national radio reported Monday.

 

Some in the group were given 15 grams of chilli each day, while others

did not have any, and Associate Professor at the School of Life

Sciences Dominic Geraghty said the results were promising.

 

" Chilli consumption may improve your sleep and, of course, the quality

of your sleep very much also influences your cardiovascular health, "

he said.

I'm sorry to say that that might not be true for everyone. My husband eats

anything with chillies. He puts hot sauce on just about everything short of

ice cream. And he has chronic sleep issues. The only thing that would put

him to sleep is the drone of the TV, but that would just annoy me and keep

me awake. I don't know what the solution is!
