Healthy & Tasty Spices

Today’s warming recipes feature some common spices that can help warm you up from the inside.

Ginger is spicy, warm, and just a little bit sweet, all at the same time. It’s a rhizome in the Zingiberaceae family and is excellent for digestion. It’s often used as a remedy for nausea and morning sickness, as well as muscle soreness, cramps, and any kind of inflammation. Can be used fresh or dried and even juiced.

Cinnamon is also sweet and warm and evokes fall and cool weather coziness like no other. It’s not just delicious. It also helps regulate blood sugar and reduces LDL cholesterol.

Black Pepper has been used to add flavor to foods for more than 4,000 years. It’s hot, pungent, and spicy, thanks to the chemical piperine. It’s antibacterial and has been used to preserve food. It can aid weight loss, clear congestion, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart and liver ailments.

Chilis, Cayenne,  and Red Pepper Flakes all contain the chemical capsaicin, which provides the heat as well as plentiful health benefits. Capsaicin can work as a mild pain reliever and soothe inflammation. It’s also thought to fight prostate cancer.
