Capsaicin: Moat spicy things have capsaicin in them which helps increase your metabolism and spark fat burning.

Vitamin c: peppers have more vitamin c than oranges! Who knew? They are also high lysine, tryptophan, b6, and calcium. They even have vitamin A, which is good for your eyes (just don't let the actual pepper get in your eyes, OUCH).
