For example it can cause serious heart burn. As for being healthy it promotes your metabolism so therefore you burn more fat. And it has the added benefit of clearing your sinus when you have a cold

For example, if you eat Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines regularly (like curry), you can maintain your weight easily and healthily?

I do not have the details in my memory at this moment, but I've read about it in some herbal book. Some good spicey soup is definately good for loosening phlegm (sp?) and acting as an expectorant. As an added bonus, the warm steam from the soup helps to alleviate your sinus pain.

Well, if you're not used to it and if you take too much spice, you get "Delhi Belly". By the way, "Delhi Belly" is a word invented by British (right?).
