Slow-Cooker Hearty Vegetable Chili

Key Ingredients: Jalapenos contain capsaicin, which studies suggest may boost metabolism as well as decrease appetite, while beans provide resistant starch, a type of fiber that appears to increase short-term satiety and, according to animal studies, reduce body fat.
