You may have heard that peppering your food can increase your metabolism. Well, it’s true, and it can work even better in supplement form taken before exercise.
According to the July/August ’11 Well Being Journal, “A study in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology reports that taking a capsaicin supplement one hour before aerobic exercise increased fat burning.”
Bonus: It can also reduce appetite.
