Sambal is a sauce made of chilies used in Indonesia cuisine, Malaysia cuisine, and Singapore cuisine. This condiment, or sauce that is used to complement or enhance the flavor of foods, is also used in cuisine of the Philippines and Sri Lanka. These sauces can be made at home or purchased from specialty grocery stores in the United States. The most commonly available sambal in the United States is sambal oelek from Indonesia. Sambals are popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines and Sri Lanka. It is typically made from a variety of peppers, although the bright red, thin and sharp tasting chilies are the main ingredient. Some types of this variant call for the addition of salt or lime into the red mixture.
Eating chili peppers can reduce risks of hyperinsulinemia (high insulin), a disorder identified with type 2 diabetes. Researches have shown that a meal containing chili pepper reduces the amount of insulin required by the body to lower blood sugar levels. Regular consumption can bring the insulin requirements further down. Researchers at the University of Tasmania have recently completed a study (published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, July 2006) that suggests the regular consumption of chilies can help your body control insulin levels after eating which could benefit the overweight or diabetics. To be more precise the chilies reduces the amount of insulin the body needs to lower blood sugar levels after a meal by up to about 60%.
A number of different types of chilies can be used to make this condiment. These include the blocky, red cayenne pepper, which has high vitamin A content; the yellow adyuma, which is also called habanero; and the red or green bird's eye chili. Among the other chilies that are used are the yellow or green Madame Jeanette chili and the red or green chili pepper. The spicy chilies in sambal can have health benefits. Chilies may be able to lower the "bad" cholesterol in the blood stream, which is low-density lipoprotein, or LDL. In addition, the chilies may increase the production of endorphins, the natural chemical that leads to "runners' high." Spicy chilies are also thought to aid in digestion. Capsaicin, the chili ingredient that causes chilies to be "hot," is the element that to which the chilies' health benefits are generally ascribed.
Chili pepper is loaded with a broad range of nutritional properties, which makes it immensely healthy for the human body. A diet rich in chili pepper can effectively control many body ailment. Chili peppers have been around for ages. However, but it is only now that their health benefits are being increasingly recognized by the modern diet experts. The positive impact of chili peppers on your health has been listed below in detail. Eating hot peppers can cause a strong sensation of heat and burning in the mouth, especially among those not initiated. The first reaction is often swallowed a good mouthful of fresh water, but it turns out that this measure is ineffective. Indeed, capsaicin, the compound responsible for the pungent spice is not soluble in water, it is better to swallow a sip of milk, a piece of cheese or other food that contains oil or fat. Besides that, its consist of antioxidants which compounds to protect body cells from damage caused by free radicals. These are highly reactive molecules that are involved in the development of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and other diseases related vieillissement1. Hot peppers contain several types of antioxidants and throughout ripening, the concentration of several of these compounds augment. In a study analyzing several antioxidants of chili, made with antioxidant activity was highest luteolin, followed by capsaicin.
The Capsaicin (or capsaicin) and its derivatives are responsible for the spicy warmth of piment5, in addition to possessing an activity antioxidant. Furthermore, studies in humans show that capsaicin pepper increases the basal metabolism after taking alimentary. Combined with a healthy lifestyle, these short-term effects of pepper can be an added advantage for those watching their weight. Finally, although research has sometimes assumed the contrary, more and more studies agree that reveal the capsaicin in vitro and in animal experiments that may contribute to the prevention of cancer. It should however assess the extent to which these anticancer properties may apply to the human body.
Then, the hot peppers also contain more flavonoids, a large family of antioxidants: major flavonoids peppers include luteolin and quercétine. Although many studies in vitro and in animals show a protective effect against some chronic diseases (e.g. cancer and cardiovascular disease), reviews of scientific literature adds that more human studies are needed to better understand the effect of flavonoids. Some varieties of hot peppers are good sources of alpha-tocopherol an antioxidant compound that is also a form of vitamin E. Indeed, several of these peppers contain more than 7 mg alpha-tocopherol per 100 g20. For comparison, the nut, a food considered very rich in alpha-tocopherol, contains 15 mg per 100 g. Vitamins in Chili.
Next is the chili pepper is a strong source of iron for humans, the needs of man and woman are different. Each body cell contains iron. This mineral is essential for transporting oxygen and the formation of red blood cells in the blood. It also plays a role in the production of new cells, hormones and neurotransmitters (messengers in the nerve impulse). It is important that the iron in plant foods is less well absorbed by the body than the iron content in foods of animal origin. The absorption of iron from plants is favored but when consumed with certain nutrients such as vitamin C.
Lastly, the chili is a very good source of vitamin C while the jalapeno pepper is a source. The role of vitamin C in the body beyond its antioxidant properties, it also contributes to healthy bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. Moreover, it protects against infections, promotes the absorption of iron content in plants and accelerates healing. While the Capsicum is a source of vitamin B6. Also known as pyridoxine, vitamin B6 is part of coenzymes involved in the metabolism of protein and fatty acids and the synthesis (manufacturing) neurotransmitters (messengers in the nerve impulse). It also contributes to the production of red blood cells and allows them to carry more oxygen. Pyridoxine is also necessary for the transformation of glycogen into glucose and contributes to the smooth functioning of the immune system. Finally, this vitamin plays a role in the formation of certain components of nerve cells and modulation of hormone receptors. Vitamin K is necessary for the synthesis (manufacturing) of proteins that works to blood clotting (as much stimulation as the inhibition of blood clotting). It also plays a role in bone formation. In addition to find in food, vitamin K is manufactured by bacteria in the intestine, hence the rarity of this vitamin deficiency.
