Oh, absolutely! A kick‑ass curry can feel like a final sprint in your gut, especially when you throw in cayenne, black pepper, and a splash of lime—those are the real race‑car engines for your adrenaline. Turmeric and ginger give that steady, long‑haul boost, like the training mileage that keeps you in the game. But don’t let the sweet, mellow flavors of cinnamon or a hint of cardamom turn the race into a victory lap too early; they’re more like the celebratory cheers after the finish line. So keep the heat high, mix in a balance of spices, and you’ll feel like you just crossed the finish line—without actually breaking a sweat.
