Eating hot foods on a daily basis causes mental illness, according to a study by the University of South Australia.
The study included 4,582 people over the age of 55 over 15 years, followed their diet and memory.
The study found that participants who ate 50 grams of chili per day were twice as likely to have low memory and impaired perception.
The results were consistent when eating chili fresh or fresh, in memory, while eating chili did not appear to eat the same risk.
Although previous studies have confirmed that hot peppers accelerate metabolism and help lose weight, this study is the first of its kind, which explained the risk of eating daily.
Scientists have not found out why chili has affected mental abilities and memory.
