Why does spicy indian food make me feel better?

Food and mood: Your mood and sense of well being is so complex that to attribute it to a particular food would be a big leap. Maybe it reminds you of some really nice time that you had in the past. I have no Indian heritage yet I really enjoy Indian foods and other spicy cuisines. Why don't you experiment and see if it is the 'hot' foods that you really like, not just Indian ones. Good eating to you!
