Culinary Herbs and Spices: Their Bioactive Properties
A growing body of literature shows everyday spices may protect against cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
The long historical use of herbs and spices for their medicinal benefits is fully acknowledged, and there is a growing amount of literature concerning their potential health benefits.
These benefits include their possible role in conferring protection against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
What's exciting is that these aren't exotic supplements — they're things like turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, oregano. Foods that already exist in most kitchens, used consistently and intentionally.
