studies suggest that adding more spices and herbs to your diet not only can please your palate but enhance your health.
Everyday herbs including rosemary, thyme, parsley, coriander, mint, sage, chives and basil traditionally have healing properties you may not be aware of, and may offer an easy and natural route to promoting good health and well-being.
Better health may be only a dash and sprinkle away: Researchers with the U.S. Department of Agriculture have found that herbs, in addition to making food tastier, are an abundant source of antioxidants and could provide potential anticancer benefits when supplementing a balanced diet.
According to Hargrove, some of the most “intriguing” research into herbs and spices has shown that components of the plants not only serve as antioxidants by themselves, but also act on our body cells to regulate their antioxidant defenses.
