The study tracked 500,000 people aged 35 to 79 from geographically diverse areas across China over the course of roughly seven years. Researchers found that those who consumed spicy foods one or two days a week had a 10% reduced risk of death compared with those who ate spicy meals less than once a week. The risk was even lower for those who ate spicy food between three and seven days a week. Chilli pepper, a popular spicy food in China, was the most commonly used spice, and it was found that those who consumed fresh chilli tended to benefit more than those consuming dried varieties.
