What to do if you have heartburn from eating chili peppers?

Chili pepper is a common food in our diet. There are many types of chili peppers, and the spicy taste of chili peppers is suitable for seasoning and garnishing dishes to enhance the flavor.

What to do if you have heartburn from eating chili peppers?

1. Milk: The best food to relieve spicy food is milk, especially skim milk. Although it was previously believed that the lipids in milk can better combine with capsaicin, current research has found that the truly effective ingredient is the casein in milk, because the casein in milk can quickly combine with capsaicin to help you reduce the spiciness.

2. Sugar

If you accidentally chew the "spicy" part of a chili pepper, the quickest and most immediate remedy is to take a mouthful of sugar. The sweetness can replace the spiciness, which can immediately eliminate the burning sensation in your mouth.

3. Tomatoes can be added to dishes or eaten raw, because the sour taste of tomatoes can neutralize the spiciness.

4. Honey water

The ingredients in honey water can neutralize capsaicin and thus relieve the spicy feeling. In addition, for those who like spicy food but cannot tolerate it very well, sometimes the spiciness causes stomach pain, which is really not worth it. However, if you really want to eat it, you can drink some honey water or milk one hour before eating chili. These things will form a layer of protective mucous membrane on the surface of the stomach to protect the stomach from damage.
