Description:

Do you like your food spicy?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Spicy foods are found everywhere, and more and more restaurants are developing different spicy food challenges.  But is it good for you?  New research out of Qatar University found a link between chili pepper consumption and dementia.  The study showed that people who consumed over 50mg of chili per day were twice as likely to develop dementia.  What makes this study so interesting is that as we age, so do our taste buds—so we can’t taste foods as well as we used to.  Often, when this happens, people resort to adding more flavor through spice.  Increasing the risk for someone who may already be at risk for developing dementia.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
