How to Add Chili Powder to Meals to Help With Gastric Emptying

Cayenne pepper has many health benefits such as tempering headaches, lowering cholesterol and cleansing the intestinal tract. Cayenne pepper is different than chili powder. Chili powder makes food hot with no health benefits or gastric emptying. Cayenne pepper is similar in color and heat but will yield the results you are looking for in assisting gastric emptying. Cayenne pepper is exceedingly hot, so to ease the heat try mixing it drinks or food.

  Achieve full gastric emptying by following the Master Cleanse (see Resource). The purpose of the cleanse or any gastric emptying is to rid the body of the toxins that are sitting in the intestine for days or weeks. As a result you can lose weight as a short-term weight loss tool. The Master Cleanse is also known as the Lemonade Diet or the Maple Syrup Diet.
