I am not a lover of peppermint ... anything! A study in the Journal Pain confirms that peppermint can ease intestinal distress.
Researchers discovered that the mint activates an "anti-pain" mechanism that soothes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
So, go sip a cup of mint tea, or try the capsules sold at Whole Foods.
My "go to" seasoning is cinnamon, I use it in soups, steel cut oats, French toast and cookies. The Journal found, a teaspoon can lower blood sugar levels, possibly helping to prevent or control diabetes.
Other excellent spice choices are:
Thyme for better breathing and great on French fries.
Sage is good for your mind, it helps boost memory.
Anise helps with stomach issues by relaxing the muscles.
Nutmeg for swelling, it has anti-inflammatory properties.
Clove for anti-aging. It has one of the highest antioxidant ranking of any spice.
True, I am not a doctor but it is fun playing one on my blog!
