Icecaps melting. Eleven of the hottest years on record in the last thirteen.Strange warps of cold into tropical areas. Chaos in politics and society.Two years left on the Mayan calendar.What is there to do but smile and exude a positive outlook, which is catching, and to practice understanding the things that are important. Like chiles.
On the frivolity of chiles: Happy colors of green, yellow, orange, red, deep maroon, purple evoke a jester's garb, and shapes like bells, arrowheads, icicles, coneheads, ornaments are celebratory.Happy chemicals, endorphins talk to the scattered thoughts and ground the self, to meditate on the inner body, to become a more real person, a cheap and easy way to transport yourself, and friends, into a community event of silliness. Happy body:Vitamins A, C, and K, lycopene, and a great source of fiber. The capsaicinoids are miracle compounds.
Peppers:
a)Help reduce the negative effects of LDL chlesterol.
b) Promotes production and efficient use of insulin, helping to prevent and (maybe) combat diabetes.
c)Help protect against stomach ulcers caused by bacteria H. pylori( by affecting the chemicals the stomach secretes in response to infection)
d) Help reduce risk of food-borne diseases caused by microbial contamination in foods that go unrefrigerated
e) Cause cancer cells to grow more slowly, and even die off in certain circumstances
f) Increase the capacity to lose weight and reduce obesity.
Hot peppers help with arthritis, cardiovascular disease, vascular headaches, impotence, kidney trouble, menstrual complaints, respiratory issues like asthma, thyroid dysfunction, muscular pain through topical application, prostate cancer, and other elements.
Growing peppers is a playground for experimentation, to embrace your soil type, climate, moisture,and natural vibe. They are comparatively pest-resistant, drought-resistant, bird-food fruit-berries of fun.
