5 Spices That Fight Disease
Add a little healthy flavor to your life
Every cook knows that spices add zero-
calories, but big flavor. At last, research­
ers are unearthing the science behind their
healing powers
(lingerT he benefits: Whetheryou have
motion or morning sickness or just an
ordinary upset tummy, ginger can bring
you some relief. Plus, ginger eases mi­
graine and arthritis pain. How to spice it
up: I oss one third of a teaspoon of fresh
or powdered ginger into stir-fries or cookie
batter, sip ginger beer or tea. or try spicy
candied ginger.
Cinnam on The benefits: Con­
suming about one-quarter to one
teaspoon a day of this crowd­
pleasing spice can reduce glucose
(blood sugar) and lower levels of
i
triglycerides (a type of fat), LDL
(or "bad") cholesterol, and total
cholesterol in people with type 2
diabetes, according to a recent
study. Cinnamon also has anti­
bacterial properties, killing bacte-
ria that can cause food poisoning
and neutralizing germs that lead to
bad breath and cavities. How to
spice it up: Ground cinnamon can be mixed
into applesauce or pie filling, hot cider,
muffin batter, or oatmeal. Or swirl acinna-
mon stick in your tea.
Black Pepper The benefits: Pipeline—
a pungent substance in black pepper —
increases enzyme activity and blood flow,
which aid in the body’s absorption of
nutrients and enhance digestion How to
spice it up: Grind pepper on just about any
dish, or toss a few pinches in dressings
and marinades.
lu rm e ric The benefits: Curcumin,
turmeric's bright yellow pigment, may re­
duce your Alzheimer's risk by limiting the
buildup of destructive proteins in the brain
that is characteristic of the disease. It may
also put the brakes on gastric and colon
cancerby slowing theeffects of harmful Gl
bacteria and smoothing digestive system
function. How to spice it up: Add yellow
mustard (which contains some curcumin)
to sandwiches. Curry powder blends,
which include turmeric, pack a more pow­
erful curcumin punch; use in meat and
seafood dishes, to season fries, or mix into
ketchup.

Red C hili Pepper FlakesThe benefits:
Capsaicin, the main phytochemical in red
peppers, works as an anti-inflammatory
and anticoagulant, thus preventing clot­
ting and hardening of the arteries. It also
helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride
levels, reducing your risk of a heart attack.
Studies indicate it may even neutralize
carcinogens and help boost your immune
system. How to spice it up: Sprinkle these
flakes on pizza or into tomato sauces,
veggies, or fruit salads. If you're buying
fresh or dried whole peppers, select
brightly colored ones; the duller their hue,
the less potent they'll be.
