Top 5 in Top 7 Health Benefits of Paprika
Paprika has a variety of chemicals that may prevent cancer. It has been demonstrated that a number of paprika carotenoids, including beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, combat oxidative stress, which is known to raise your chance of developing several malignancies.
Notably, individuals with the greatest blood levels of beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and total carotenoids had a 25–35% lower risk of breast cancer than those with lower blood levels of these nutrients. Additionally, the capsaicin in paprika may reduce the survival and proliferation of cancer cells by altering the way that many genes are expressed. The possible anti-cancer properties of this spice, however, require further study.
