Do you prefer to eat spicy foods or not? Why?

Hi, I am a spicy food lover and I love to eat those spicy food like curry,rendang or any kind of spicy food. It just make me have more appetite and when I saw my face and body was sweating,...I feel so excited. I use to put chilly sauce for every meal that I have....it has been my habit to have spicy meal everyday,but since I become a mother, I have to cook non spicy food and in order to make my appetite up,i just add bit of chilly sauce to my rice with some other dishes..it taste great to me.

Spicy is not good for health. Here's one most men probably didn't know: spicy food is bad for sleep. The cause is quite simple. The body needs to slow down before it can snooze and spicy food raises body temperature (that's why we sweat after a consuming fiery food). If one happens to consume something zesty before going to bed, it can disrupt slumber. The first cycle of sleep is particularly sensitive to hot food. Damage to taste buds Finally, constantly eating hot food can permanently reduce the sensation of taste. I often hear people assure others that they will get used to the burning of chili peppers. It's true, people do feel less scorching after years of spicy abuse, but not because the body got "used" to the sensation in question. Over time, taste buds wear out, making this reduced sensation nothing more than wear and tear of chronic abuse. It's no different from people getting "used" to loud music in clubs in both cases the body suffers permanent deterioration.

They say spicy flavor is good for the heart. But I really do not want spicy foods , anything that is spicy is a no-no for me. I remember my mother used to cook her favorite dish which has coconut milk on it, and then she puts a lot of hot peppers.We call it Laing here, it is not Laing if it is not spicy enough for you to drink water everytime you swallow your food and you tend to eat more rice, so you feel full at once.. It was kind of fun those days . I miss my mother and I miss her spicy Laing. (^_^)

I love spicy food. It's not because it enhances my appetite. Because i grew up in a town where spicy food is a commen taste. Almost all of us are fond of spicy food. But now i'm not so addicted to spicy food for my health and beauty.Spicy food makes more acnes.

I prefer spicy food cause it makes the food tastier,I usually add some pepper to food that I don't consider spicy enough.Too much spicy food usually cause diarrhea, but I don't think it cause hemorrhoids

I love spicy food! I make almost all of my meals spicy, but not too much because the people I live with do not like spicy food.

Here we don't often eat spicy food. But since there is a saying in my city: Eating in Guangzhou. That means to say we enjoy eating and therefore we have so many kinds of restaurants here. And sometimes we will be interested in eating spicy food. It gives us a new feeling and that's great. It is not bad to eat spicy food sometimes, but we just can't eat it all the time because we don't really get used to it. I love China

I dont like food that is too spicy , I cant eat and drink a lot of water at the same time. I rather to eat and be comfortable when eating and not drinking ten glass of water .

I prefer mildly spicy foods.Too much spice upsets my stomach.I can't eat food without spice.I prefer mildly spicy food most of the time as it tastes good.

Now these days I not prefer spicy food because my stomach problem is started if eat spicy food. But some years ago I likes spicy food to much. I like simple meals and snacks. No like pizza or chiken.

I love spicy food. It not only enhances my appetite, but also gives me the feeling of exciting. Your body gets more and more hot, then breaks out into a sweat. I think that's wonderful, especially in a chilly winter. However, just as you said, it depends on what type the food is. Yes, i love sipcy food, but that doesn't means i'll put spices in every meal. Besides, too much spicy food is not good to your health.

i love all kinds of spicy foods!.it gives flavor to the food and is merely so tasty!.enjoy eating!:0

I love eating spicy foods but now you said it causes hemorrhoids, I got a little worried because there's one time in my life when all I ate was just spicy food. Now I will try to lessen it.

In my young days i was so fond of spicy foods full of chilly and oil, but with age, i have corrected myself, though i eat on sunday, my wife and daughter in laws have cooked today, using lesser quantity though, today is sunday lol I can't eat food that has no spice or chilly.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. HAVE A NICE SUNDAY. God Bless. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

I love spices too- since it makes food more delicious and smells good, but I don't like it that spicy.. Since it is like punishing my tongue. I just like the normal amount of spices..not more.

I like foods with spices too.. But I don't like too much spicy food at all, i don't like chili or pepper, and the like- not because of the disadvantages of it to our body, it's just I don't like the taste .eating it is like hurting myself, my mouth and tongue.

sure i do, love it actually but not too much spicy like I was eating raw chili pepper..it makes my appetite more appetizing :)
