Did you know that herbs and spices not only enrich the taste of food, but also help the body naturally fight inflammation? That being said, they are so easy to incorporate into your daily diet. Here are a few tasty and healthy spices.
Curcuma
This bright yellow spice, traditional to Indian cuisine, has long been used to fight infections, wounds, colds and liver disease. It's one of the strongest anti-inflammatories on the planet, and can even fight cancer.
Add a pinch of turmeric to vegetable dishes and soups along with freshly ground pepper: the antioxidant curcumin it contains is absorbed by the body in the presence of capsaicin, which is rich in pepper. Or make this tea with turmeric.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is often added to desserts, porridges, smoothies and drinks. However, not only does it give the dish a special flavor, but it also enhances brain function, fights cancer, and stimulates digestion.
Rosemary
Rosemary, with its pine-like scent, is traditional to Mediterranean cuisine. This herb has anti-inflammatory properties and also improves memory, stimulates digestion, and relieves muscle pain (also look out for other foods that help relieve pain).
Add a sprig of rosemary to vegetables or sprinkle it on potato wedges before baking in the oven.
Cayenne pepper
Ancient cultures valued the healing properties of cayenne and other hot peppers. They all contain capsaicinoids, which give the pepper its anti-inflammatory properties. Peppers help relieve arthritis symptoms, reduce headaches, prevent blood clots, stimulate the body's natural detoxification and improve digestion.
Add a pinch of spicy chili pepper to vegetable soup or stews, and flavor hummus or guacamole with cayenne pepper.
Sage
Like rosemary, sage is also a regular in Mediterranean cuisine with anti-inflammatory properties. And the herb is also known for its ability to soothe menstrual cramps, eliminate gastrointestinal discomfort, and improve blood circulation.
Add 3-4 fresh sage leaves to your favorite herbal tea, infuse sage leaves in olive oil to give it flavor and additional properties.
Ginger
Fragrant and spicy ginger complements many Asian dishes. It has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and gives a boost to the immune system. Ginger eliminates nausea and vomiting, especially during pregnancy. It also helps protect you from a number of cancers.
Add fresh grated ginger to curries or roasted vegetables, combine with soy sauce, olive oil and garlic to make a salad dressing.
Oregano
This herb contains the powerful anti-inflammatory substance beta-caryophyllene. Oregano helps relieve symptoms of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis and has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Sprinkle chopped oregano generously on pizzas or baked goods and add it to pasta sauce.
Garlic
Garlic helps relieve arthritis pain, reduce nausea, inflammation, and lower blood pressure as well as remove heavy metals from the body.
Carnation
Cloves have been used for thousands of years in India and China. Its health benefits include improving digestion, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and strengthening the immune system. Add cloves to soups and stews or to hot drinks.
