Yeah man it really boosts things up, they sorta work like bio-enhancers to teas. Sometimes i even add certain spices to hot chocolate to give it that spicy kick providing more energy as well as the other benefits

I would prefer Indian food rather than eating chillies. It is much tastier and spicy too.

I love some chilis and Cayenne pepper in my foods. However, they're a double-edged sword because of their high lectin content. It's not unhealthy by any means but if you consume too much of them, you'll cause some excess gastrointestinal stress. You may get bloating and brain fog. I definitely feel a huge difference in my cognitive performance and mental sharpness if I've eaten too much peppers or maybe garlic. 

What other foods contain lectins? All nightshade, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, bell peppers, beans, lentils etc. Again, they're not unhealthy but you don't want to overeat them if you want to maximize your brain's performance and health.

Spices are great! they boost brown adipose tissue, which highly increases your metabolism by burning fat and turning it into heat (a process called thermogenesis). so brown adipose tissue does not only boost your metabolism, but it also makes you more resistant to cold.
