What are the nutritional benefits of eating hot, spicy food?
Please be specific about the ingredients and how they affect our bodies. Are they best cooked or raw for absorption in our bodies?
Some food types might be those served in India or Thailand that I am referencing.

I just know that eating spicy food increases your metabolism, and you burn fat quicker.

They increase metabolism, have anti carcinogenic, anti microbial properties. Black pepper is a powerful decongestant, much better than chicken soup!
Spices add flavor to otherwise bland food, and so 'make up' for low sodium and/or low fat diets.

Chilis can reduce pain a bit and help even out your circulation.

Curries will certainly act as a great decongestant! Spicy foods do speed up your metabolism, and I've heard that eating raw chilies and raw garlic is pretty good for your immune system.
