How to ‘Spice’ Up Your Health
Would you like to add massive anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant & digestion / metabolism boosting activity to your body each day?
Sometimes we can get so consumed analyzing calories, fat ratios, vitamin %’s etc, we forget about the unbelievable power of traditional herbs/spices – not the KFC variety!!!
As a rule, we westerners don’t use spices nearly enough, so this week, if you are not already, add some or all of the following into your cooking to start reaping some amazing benefits.
1. Fresh ginger – great for digestion/stimulating appetite, anti-platelet & anti-inflammatory properties and can work brilliantly in reducing things like nausea, morning sickness, bronchitis/asthma etc.
2. Turmeric – arguably the ‘most powerful cancer preventer/fighter’ in the world, natural anti-histamine, anti-septic – renowned for drawing toxins to it – great for cleansing liver – new research has shown it reduces alcoholic liver damage in rats as well as showing extremely promising results with respect to cystic fibrosis. Ayurvedic doctors have been recommending turmeric in conditions like this for centuries.
*Use only in small amounts – 4-5 pinch/day max. & don’t overheat it.
3. Cardamom – a warming herb – good for stomach & lung areas and settling mind generally – great for giving a nice ’sweetness’ – e.g adding to milky items – porridge, cereals etc.
* Note – just use small (‘cooking’) amounts. Do not try and treat a condition you may have through a large quantity of a herb/spice. Consult a trained practitioner for any advice concerning a particular condition.

LAUGH OF WEEK – SPEAKING OF ‘SPICE’ RELATED THINGS:
