Spices have been used since ancient times to boost the taste of food. But new evidence is suggesting they may also boost your health. Check out this list of five spices, and what they can do to improve your health:
Turmeric - a powerful antioxidant; preliminary studies suggest it may help prevent or even treat Alzheimer’s disease. Also, it enhances immune function, improves digestion, may reduce your risk of heart attack and may be a possible treatment for cystic fibrosis.
Ginger - Prevents the symptoms of motion sickness. May also help reduce pain and improve function in people who have arthritis.
Rosemary - Anti-inflammatory effect, which may improve immune function and circulation, and reduce the severity of asthma attacks.
Coriander - Rich in protective phytochemicals and is a good source of iron, magnesium and manganese.
