Ah, spicy food. Is there anything better than a spicy meal, especially if it is homemade? There is nobody around to tell you that it's too hot, nor too cautious cook too afraid to add spice, and no one watching you sweat bullets and gulp your concoction melted as you like.

Acid Reflux Chronic acid reflux disease can also lead to esophageal cancer, but only in rare cases. Cutting down on peppery cooking is a good first step to reduce this risk. Acid reflux, especially at night, can also erode the teeth. Bad breath Garlic and onions are among the worst nauseating things a guy can eat, and they are also cause bad breath. Granted, bad breath is not a nuisance, but it can sometimes spell disaster, especially on a nice first date. So avoid spicy food on those nights. Insomnia
Over time, the wear buds, which makes it reduces the feeling nothing other than being worn down by chronic abuse. This is no different than people getting "used" to loud music in clubs in both cases, the body suffers permanent damage.
