Introduction:
While black pepper is a common kitchen staple, its powers extend far beyond flavoring food. Known as the "King of Spices," black pepper contains a compound called piperine, which boasts a range of health benefits — especially when consumed before bedtime. From aiding digestion to improving metabolism and even supporting better sleep, chewing black pepper before bed may be the nighttime ritual you didn’t know you needed.
Ingredients:
3–5 whole black peppercorns (fresh and organic preferred)
A glass of lukewarm water (optional, for after chewing)
Directions:
Rinse the peppercorns lightly with clean water if they’re not pre-washed.
Chew 3–5 peppercorns slowly about 30 minutes before bedtime.
Drink a few sips of lukewarm water if the taste is too intense, but avoid washing it down immediately to let the compounds absorb orally.
Repeat nightly for consistent results.
