Watching Dr. Oz a couple of weeks ago, I took notes so I could share with you these recent findings on the ability of 5 common spices to combat the effects of aging on the human body. Incorporating these spices into our daily diet can greatly decrease cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, pain from arthritis, and other common ailments that accompany aging.
5. Apple Pie Spice; Healthy Heart
Ginger is the main component of this spice mixture, and has anti-inflammatory effects that keep your heart young by preventing atherosclerosis (blocked arteries).
4. Jamaican All Spice; Digestive Health
Has anti-gas effects, aids digestion and keeps blood sugar under control (therefore keeping arteries young).
3. Cinnamon; Arthritis Relief
Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory effects that relieve arthritis pain, as well as antibiotic properties that help prevent urinary tract infections, tooth decay and gum disease, and kill E.coli.
2. Cloves; Combat Everything
Cloves are highest in antioxidants and help with arthritis pain, asthma, bronchitis and more!
1. Turmeric; Fights Cancer and Alzheimer’s
Turmeric is widely used in India, and the prevalence of the four most-common US cancers is 10 times lower there. The rate of Alzheimer’s among the elderly there is the lowest in the world.
