Pepper is a plant with powerful beneficial properties for our body. Used for a long time as a spice, it is able not only to flavor our foods but also to bring great benefits to our body. It has digestive properties thanks to its ability to increase the production of saliva and gastric juices and is therefore very useful in all cases of poor digestion. This ability is given to it by piperine, the active ingredient of this plant. It has a stimulating effect on the excretory organs and in particular promotes diuresis (and therefore renal activity) and sweating through the skin. It is therefore a powerful purifier since it stimulates the body to free itself from toxins. It has antiseptic and antibacterial properties especially useful for counteracting states of intestinal dysbiosis. It has strong antioxidant properties thanks to its richness in polyphenols such as lutein and zeaxanthin (very useful for ocular well-being). Pepper also contains the presence of lycopene whose antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties are well known. It is very rich in vitamins (vitamin A, B, C, E, K) which make it a precious ally of our cardiovascular system, our immune system, the nervous system and the metabolic activity of our organism. For all these reasons, pepper should be consumed every day except in cases where specific problems (such as in the case of gastroesophageal reflux) make its use inadvisable.
