• Cinnamon
Cinnamon is the spice equivalent to a super-fruit. It has multiple, scientifically proven health benefits, including lowering blood sugar levels, fighting inflammation, and even lowering cholesterol. It’s also one of the most versatile spices, and can be used in a variety of ways, such as sprinkling a little into your coffee or frozen yogurt or smoothie for extra flavor.
• Ginger
Ginger is great for your digestive tract but is also known for helping to assuage nausea. It’s also quite a versatile spice that can add a real zing to any dish. Some ideas include:
Use fresh ginger to make ginger tea with a little lemon and honey, stir fry it with garlic and onions for the base of a vegetarian stir fry, mix with carrot juice for a strong morning pick-me-up.
• Cayenne Pepper
Turn up the heat with this spice! Cayenne is known for being hot, but it also can help reduce appetite and burn fat! Some studies have also found connections between cayenne and combating some forms of cancer. Some dishes where cayenne can be added include adding a dash or two to a chocolate mousse, mix with cinnamon and sprinkle into your coffee or eat over frozen yogurt, gently turn up the heat on your hummus, bean dip, or even guacamole. Just remember to go easy with the cayenne - a little goes a long way.
