    Weird, we just saw a paper that showed spicy food negatively correlated with colon cancer.

    “Subgroup analyses showed that the association between a high level of spiciness in food and a lower memory ( − 0.254, p < 0.001) and global score ( − 0.222, p = 0.002) was present only in older adults with low physical activity, but not in older adults with high physical activity.”

    TLDR: Move your body

    > In contrast, a 15-year longitudinal, population-based cohort study found that **consuming more spicy food was positively associated with lower cognitive scores,** as measured by the global cognitive score and self-reported memory loss9. Additionally, preclinical studies have demonstrated that **high capsaicin intake is associated with a neuronal, glutamate excitotoxic effect** and an analgesic effect mediated via denervation of sensory nerves

    I guess you also have to work out if you want to eat spicy.
