(NaturalNews) Spices are widely used for increased health and well-being. Young adults, the elderly and anyone who is looking to find a healthier way of living can benefit from using spices when they cook meals. Just adding a few tasty spices to a meal is all that it takes. For those who are not likely to cook, or even learn, this information can still be helpful, as they can give suggestions to others in the home who are more likely to cook.
Environmental harm
For anyone who needs a liver, colon, kidney or lymph detoxification for their body, spices are the way to go! The world around us is filled with toxins, pollution and bacteria that are harmful. Everyone needs help in battling the environmental issues which are constantly harming others; especially those who are more sensitive, have illnesses or are aging. And so many people take man-made medications on a daily basis. Why not attempt to balance the unnatural and the natural to obtain optimum health and well-being?
Examples of spices and what they can do for the body:
- Turmeric – A powerful antioxidant that should be combined with pepper in order to be most effective. Antioxidants help the body regenerate itself after a toxic overload.
- Nutmeg – This widely used spice comes from the evergreen tree and is used to make eggnog during the holiday season. It can help increase circulation as well as get rid of unhealthy, toxic cells in the body.
- Peppercorn – Anything spicy helps increase the body’s metabolism and circulation, including peppercorn. It’s also used as a disinfecting agent for minor scrapes and cuts.
- Ginger – Ginger is great for pain as well as digestive problems such as nausea. Nutrients from food are more easily absorbed when ginger is added to the recipe.
- Red Clover – Used for PMS, menopausal problems and cleansing the blood. It has been said to create a feeling of relaxation to promote good sleep.
- Garlic – Garlic is widely used to prevent colds, flu and pneumonia during the winter months, as it’s an immune-stimulating agent. Garlic can lowers cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. It can be used for much more, so do thorough research if you’ve been diagnosed with a disease or other illness.
- Rosemary – This spice helps get the blood flowing and stimulates and cleanses the nervous system, which is comprised of the brain and spinal cord and is the most important system in the body.
- Parsley – Parsley assists the body in its natural cleansing process because of its high levels of chlorophyll. Parsley may help with arthritis pain and cardiovascular disease because it contains alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.
- Thyme – Thyme is a mint that contains calcium, iron and manganese, which work as antiseptic and antibacterial agents. It helps relieve respiratory troubles.
- Cloves – If you have a toothache, be sure to add cloves to your food. This spice can also help with digestion and other pain in the body.

good post and very valuable. Tumeric is not absorbed well but if you take cayanne pepper or lots of ground peppercorns with the meal before you take the tumeric or tumerol (my preference) it will absorb better and you will get your monies worth.
