The Positive Side Effects of Eating Spicy Food

I'm not quite convinced with this hyped article even though they do point to the research behind it. My reason for using spicy foods immediately post -stroke is:
For that extra sensation we need immediately post-stroke this seems like a good solution. What does your doctor think of it? Don't let him/her dismiss it out of hand, ask for a detailed analysis, you are paying them for their knowledge you know.
Tingling sensation caused by Asian spice could help patients with chronic pain
Widely used in Asian cooking, the Szechuan pepper was found to mimic the sense of touch in the brain. It chemically activates light-touch fibres on the lips and tongue and sends the equivalent of 50 light taps to the brain per second.
The positive effects of eating spicy food
Don't do this without your doctors prescription, you know how dangerous it is eating food without your doctors knowledge. To prove that, have you ever had ANY spicy food in the hospital?

Fifty-six percent of U.S. households keep hot sauce in their kitchens, which implies that the majority of Americans now enjoy spicy food. In an attempt to market to the chile-chasing millennial generation, as well as to the rest of fiery food-loving America, companies have been hard at work developing tongue-tingling dishes from Fiery Chicken Fries to jalapeƱo chicken sandwiches. Then, there are those braves souls who attempt eating the world’s spiciest peppers and hot sauces on camera.
The public’s chile addiction has left many wondering if there are any side effects of pounding down pepper after pepper. Some studies have reported that adding the extra spicy kick to your food can have adverse side effects on your colon and your heart.
But do these scorching-hot foods have any health benefits? According to CNN, spicy foods could potentially help you live a longer life. So keep on dabbing habanero hot sauce on your eggs, and adding Sriracha to everything. You might be rewarded later on down the line.
Here are nine positive side effects of chile chasing, including (but not limited to) increased longevity.
