Do you eat chili peppers?

My father eats chili peppers often. I wonder how can he eat them. I know that they are healthy. They can help reduce the risk of some medical problems. But their taste is too strong for me. I have to drink a lot of water if I am eating chili peppers. Today I read more about chili peppers benefits. They improve digestion, high blood pressure, support cardiovascular health. They have antioxidants that can kill cancer cells. When we have a cold it's good to eat chili peppers. Do you eat them?

Can you eat Hot Sauce without water? I feel like I am choking when I eat spicy foods.

Yes, they are too strong. But some people eat them without any problems.

I find this an interesting post. My family, in general, enjoy hot and spicy things. Me, on the other hand, like the flavor but not the heat - and I found out a few years ago, its got something to do with the way the taste buds are on my tongue! My dentist commented on it - I'd never spoken to her before but she told me, 'I guess you're not a fan of spicy food'? I was amazed and rather glad - I always wondered why I couldn't tolerate heat.

Thank you. I have the same problem. I can't tolerate hot and spicy foods because they burn my tongue.

I read it's better to drink milk than water

I read that water is the best. I am not sure what to think.

I can't eat them like, literally chewing the peppers as is raw!! I eat food with chili peppers in them but not too much chilis as I can't tolerate anything too hot and spicy.

Me neither. I wonder how can people eat them raw. They have such a strong taste.

I will have green chillies in some recipes like fried rice. I like bit spicy foods but not too much.
