2. May promote healthy vision
\nPaprika contains several nutrients that may boost eye health, including vitamin E, beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.<\/p>\n

In particular, lutein and zeaxanthin, which act as antioxidants, may prevent damage to your eyes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. May reduce inflammation
\nCertain varieties of paprika, especially hot ones, contain the compound capsaicin.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it may protect against a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, including arthritis, nerve damage, and digestive issues.<\/p>\n

Several studies show that topical creams with capsaicin help reduce pain caused by arthritis and nerve damage, but research on capsaicin tablets is more limited.<\/p>\n

Still, specific research on paprika is needed.<\/p>\n

  • 4. May improve your cholesterol levels
    \nPaprika may benefit your cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n

    In particular, capsanthin, a carotenoid in this popular spice, may raise levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, which is associated with a lower risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n

    One two-week study found that rats fed diets with paprika and capsanthin experienced significant increases in HDL levels, compared with rats on a control diet.<\/p>\n

    The carotenoids in paprika may also help decrease levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, which are linked to an increased risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n

    In a 12-week study in 100 healthy adults, those who took a supplement containing 9 mg of paprika carotenoids per day had significantly lower LDL (bad) and total cholesterol levels than those who got a placebo.<\/p>\n

    5. May have anticancer effects<\/p>\n

    Numerous compounds in paprika may protect against cancer.<\/p>\n
