“Ounce for ounce, herbs and spices have more antioxidants than any other food group.”, said Mr. Michael Greger – a professional speaker on public health problems. We stay right behind his words because all those spices from the Mother Nature are
truly a gift!
You probably have your own favorite herbs, which you tend to use in the kitchen, right? OK, but how about we widen that list a little?
See which are the
4 spices with healing effect that we’ve chosen for you today:
- Cinnamon
Here’s a fact – cinnamon is said to contain more antioxidants than any other spice in the world. Isn’t that amazing? Amongst its other properties is that it may
lower the LDL (bad cholesterol). What’s more, it can also reduce the risk of cancer cells spreading, especially for
leukemia. According new data cinnamon is also helpful against Parkinson’s disease. Aren’t these enough for you to start using it?
- Black pepper
Of course, there’s hardly any meal that goes well without salt and black pepper. However, did you know that back in history it was so precious that people used it
as a currency? Black pepper contains
peperine – an alkaloid that gives our body manganese, copper and others. Hence, it may be beneficial to the metabolism and to the healthy bone structure.
- Rosemary
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance.” Shakespeare didn’t use those words in his most powerful literature work
Hamlet for no reason. The truth is that this herb’s aroma is so gentle that one can hardly forget it. The spice is a true
‘reservoir’ for minerals and vitamins like calcium, iron, folic acid, potassium, vitamin A, B6 and C.
- Coriander
Not the most popular herb, right? Despite this fact, coriander is
a must for some dishes. In fact, we owe a lot to the Greeks when it comes to this spice. They find it to be an irreplaceable
aphrodisiac as Dioscorides, a Greek pharmacologist, believes that its use may
increase male potency. What’s more, Hippocrates was the one to prescribe coriander as a medicine to those suffering from various diseases. What’s not to love about it?
