Generally eating spices is considered to be a healty thing. Hot spicy food is reportedly good for general health, so long as the spice benefits are not offset by the food being high fat, high salt or high calorie (as it frequently is in curries). So it's not realistic to use "but it contains spices!" as a excuse to eat unhealthily. However to experience any real benefit from eating spices (i.e to ingest a statistically significant level of the active ingredient in the spice likely to give a benefit (or side-effect), the spice in question would have to be eaten in an unrealistic quantity; usually over 4 of teaspoons of the spice per day, depending on what the spice is). So eating hot spicy food does not contain enough 'spice' to actually have an impact on heart function, either good or bad.

Currently it is tradition and what people have learned to like. Originally people used spices to cover up the taste of rancid fats and the early stages of spoilage before the availability of artificial refrigeration. In places like India where the weather was hot food spoiled faster and more spice was needed, in places like Norway where the weather was cold food spoiled very slowly and little or no spice was used, in other places the use of spices on food varied accordingly. People got used to this and it has become the tradition even though food can now be refrigerated anywhere to prevent spoilage.
