　　有助缓解压力。北京安定医院临床心理科医生西英俊指出，与酸甜苦咸不同，严格讲，“辣”并不是一种味道，而是身体灼烧的刺激感。这种刺激感所带来的痛，会促使身体分泌大量内啡肽(一种化学物质)，让人产生愉悦感。当刺激消退，人的压力也随之得到释放。中科院心理所心理学博士郑秀丽表示，红色本身可以振奋人心，辣椒的“红”也有这样的作用，能让疲惫的人在心理上得到振奋。“这也是红晃晃、油亮亮的川菜之所以受欢迎的原因之一。”

　　“重辣区”在长江中上游，包括四川、湖南、湖北、贵州等地；北方是“微辣区”，包括北京、山东、山西、陕西、甘肃、青海、新疆等地；山东以南的东南沿海，包括江苏、上海、浙江、福建、广东等地，为“淡辣区”。基本上，除极南和极北省市外，中国已经被“辣”所覆盖。

　　过度刺激食欲，使人超量饮食，甚至是暴饮暴食，从而引发肥胖及三高等问题。烹饪专家乔杰指出，一般厨师做菜“逢辣必咸”，为了中和辣味，需要增加用盐量，这也是川菜口味较重的原因。而过辣、过咸的重口味饮食会给身体带来双重危害，间接诱发高血压、高血脂、糖尿病等慢性疾病。

改变口味慢慢做起 Change taste start slowly

　　“不要以为‘重口味’是改变不了的，其实，25天就可以形成一个良好的饮食习惯。”协和营养专家于康表示，改变口味没有特别的办法，只有坚持。你可以先从麻辣降到中辣，再到微辣，坚持微辣水平，就会对身体利大于弊。通常坚持4个星期，口味就会慢慢变轻，坚持3个月到半年，就能达到持久性的改变。于康强调，减盐、减油都是这样一个过程，如果能做到，会大大降低“三高”等慢性病的发病率。
