Can eating hot foods be bad or good for you?
1 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Moderations: Hot and spicy food gets a bad rap. For years, experts believed it caused stomach problems and worsened ulcers. The truth is that spicy food might actually protect the stomach lining if eaten in moderation. Hot foods such as red peppers can actually help your stomach produce less gastric acid. You might feel a burning after eating them, but this is only because you need to build tolerance for it.
