Is Chili Bad for You?

No, chili is not bad for you. \n\nI use red beans and pinto beans in my chili, along with all the diced tomatoes, and ground beef, and onions and everything. It's really good for you, good fiber, good protein, tomatoes are a good source of lycopene and b vitamins.\n\nYou can use ground turkey and make it less fat, but I see nothing wrong with using pure ground beef, or even buffalo meat, or beef-alo meat.

No and no. Many vegetable are actually better for you after they are cooked. The body can't break down some of the raw vegetables properly and you don't get all the nutrients. Spinach is a prime example.

high in sodium..but in moderation they aren't bad for you. They are better for you than candy bars.

Yes, anything irritating to the stomach will impede digestion, so as the food sits longer, it ferments, which causes bloating. I can relate...I used to just relish anything spicy, but when I learned that these things gradually eat away at the tender linings of our digestive system, I wanted to do away with it. Our taste buds change over time; plus, with experimentation you can find similar tastes that are not so hot. For example, eat sweet peppers in place of the hot ones; or, many times (as in with the Pacilla peppers for enchilada sauce) you can greatly reduce the "spice" of a dish simply by leaving the seeds and pith out of it--the flavor is still excellent. I have found, too, that you tend to notice delicate flavors more as you tone down the heat a bit, which I think is a neat "side effect".

If you do it too long, you can change the PH of your blood which is in no way healthy.  Also, you can easily risk not getting the minerals, vitamins and fiber you need from fruits and vegetables.  Not to mention the high fat intake that is allowed with Atkins can cause many health problems - like high colesterol.

As long as your burning off the calories that you consume, then yeah, I guess so. But it's still not healthy. The fat and salt content in fast food is sooo bad for you that all of the exercising in the world wouldn't stop you from having health problems.

There are certain foods out there called "negative-calorie" foods.  These are foods that contain less calories in them than the body burns during the digestion process.  For example, if you eat a carrot with 10 calories, and your body burns 35 calories while digesting it, you just burned 25 calories by eating!  Pretty cool, huh?  You can find a list of these foods on google (type in "negative calorie foods").  Spicy foods also tend to speed up metabolism.  Keep in mind, however, to diet in moderation..any crash diets where you deprive yourself will inevitably backfire.

OUCH!  The pepper will irritate the sensitive tissue and cause inflammation; it shouldn't cause serious or permanent damage.  FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM IT.  And if the pain persists more than a few hours, see a doctor.

I would not eat them for every meal but they are a good source of nutrition, watch the sodium content and stay away from creamy soups, those are high in fat and calories
