Objectives : These days many people tend to prefer spicy taste. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship
between prefer spicy and physical symptoms.
Methods : We examined the subjective physical condition of patients who visited L/C clinic during the period between
January and June 2023 by conducting a survey. The survey was completed voluntarily, and the anonymity and
confidentiality of the research data were strictly protected, and it was stated that patients could withdraw at any
time if they did not want to participate. Patients who refused to complete the survey and patients with limited capacity
to give consent were excluded. The survey took about 10 minutes to complete. We analyzed 248 cases who answered
the survey and found that 66 patients had a high spicy preference.
Results : As a result, participants with high spicy taste preference tended to have general body symptoms such as fever, sweat, and thirst; digestive symptoms such as belching, constipation, bloody stools, and abdominal distension;
genitourinary symptoms such as yellowish urine, urinary retention, white fluor albus, and premenstrual tension;
and neuromuscular symptoms such as edema, blepharospasm, and cold hands.
Conclusion : People who have general body symptoms, digestive symptoms, genitourinary symptoms and neuromuscular
symptoms described above should try to eat as little spicy food as possible and make sure they get a good balance of
the five flavors.
