Adaptogens are active ingredients found in certain plants and mushrooms that can help the body deal with stress, anxiety, and fatigue. They are considered safe and have been shown to improve feelings of calmness and some aspects of memory performance in healthy young adults. Popular adaptogens include Panax ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, and Schisandra chinensis. While research suggests they can be helpful in decreasing symptoms of fatigue and exhaustion, they should be used alongside other therapies for people with chronic and acute medical conditions. Adaptogens can be found in certain herbs and mushrooms, and there are some foods high in adaptogens.
Chili oil is a popular condiment made by infusing vegetable oil with chili peppers, with varying types of oil and peppers used depending on the recipe. Other ingredients like garlic, ginger, and Szechuan peppercorns can also be added to the mix. It is commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cooking and is known for its spicy flavor. Chili oil has also been found to have health benefits such as promoting blood circulation, boosting cardiovascular health, and containing antioxidants that promote skin and overall body health. People who are looking for a substitute for chili oil can use other similar ingredients like hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
