It depends on what else your eating.
With the peppers it is the capsaicin that is hot thus causing your body to increase blood flow as well as sweat in order to lower your core tempature.
With mustard it is myrosin and sinigrin that cause the heat or reaction. I say reaction because it can damage living tissue at high doses. Your body has to fight hard to reverse this reaction causing expeniture of calories.
Now why I say it depends on what you eat is because of the cause and effect other elements have of these lets say chemicals. If your eating other food that cause a cooling effect it would counter the reaction the hot peppers and mustard.
To put it simply take the peppers and mustard at different times then when you eat. Also find out if the foods your eating cause your body to cool down , or warm you up.
Don't know about mustard, but cayenne is supposed to work or eating any pepper.
Hope this helps..
Nope, it has no properties to induce metabolism. Caffeine may be a more legitimate source of desired results.
Cayenne does increase metabolism, but mustard will increase digestion only, the general metabolism is slowed by the grounding effect that it has on the blood.
So, generally cayenne will increase digestion and metabolism as a secondary effect (post-digestion), but mustard will increase digestion but will slow metabolism as a secondary effect (post-digestion).
I eat mustard on everything (on my eggs, butter bread, sausage, meatloaf, turkey, ham.. lol I've had no luck. I had a great Doctor who retired, before he retired he told me to drink lots of water or use the (sugar free fruit punches etc from wal-mart). Also to buy a mineral called Chromium Picolinate. I have seen a huge improvement in my weight and not only that; I feel like I have more energy. He also said to eat a big breakfast *just don't over do it* within 45 min of waking up. Chromium Picolinate does increase your metabolism; as well as eating within the 45 min of waking up. He put it into terms such as.. When you wake up your body's fuel tank is empty or near empty, he said our metabolism is at it's highest when we wake up so when we eat within that time-line the food will be burned as fuel rather than being stored for later.
Hope this helps.
