4. Easier weight loss
The outermost layer of pepper is filled with phytonutrients that stimulate the metabolism when fat cells are broken down. A study in Korea even suggests that piperine inhibits the production of new fat cells. You will also burn more calories as peppers temporarily raise your body temperature.
Just a pinch of pepper in your meal is enough to get the metabolic benefits, and it is easier to lose pounds. Pepper oil and pepper tea are also great ways to use piperine to aid weight loss.
