It is possible that one person looks younger than his or her biological if one engages in healthy living life style and eating healthily by increasing the intake of good healthy food such as whole grain, fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes, etc. and reducing the consumption of harmful foods, such as saturated fat, trans fat, artificial ingredients, etc.
Piperine found abundantly in  black pepper and long pepper, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, as a mixture of radish and pepper to treat epilepsy. The presumptive effectiveness of this prescription might be due to the anticonvulsant actions of the principal component of pepper, the alkaloid piperine (CAS 94-62-2)(a)
Enhanced intestinal uptake of iron, zinc and calcium in rats fed pungent spice principles – Piperine, capsaicin and ginger (Zingiber officinale)
In the study of groups of Wistar rats fed piperine, capsaicin and ginger containing diets for 8 weeks in order to examine their possible influence on intestinal absorption of iron, zinc and calcium, found that higher uptake of iron, zinc and calcium by the intestinal segments from spice-fed animals was observed. The increase in the mineral uptake was the highest for calcium with >100% in some cases. The positive influence of dietary capsaicin was more pronounced on zinc uptake as compared to that of iron. Uptake of the glutamic acid standard was 87% and 62% higher in the case of jejunal segments of rats fed piperine and ginger. The higher intestinal uptake of iron and zinc as a result of consumption of pungent spices could encourage a strategy to reduce deficiency of these trace elements prevalent in population dependent on plant based foods((9).
