Ever noticed that people from the tropics appear to age less than their counterparts from colder northern or southern parts of the earth?
While there may be many reasons for this, including racial differences, genetic characteristics, sun exposure, etc.; a recent study from the University of Georgia suggests that the answer may also lie in the diet! The research study found that a diet rich in anti-oxidant herbs and spices can block the effects of toxic compounds associated with aging and also inhibit tissue damage from diabetes.
Here are the top seven spices that have extremely concentrated anti-oxidants:
Thyme
Cinnamon (ground)
Oregano
Marjoram
Sage
Cloves (ground)
Allspice (ground)
So go ahead and add more SPICE to your life!
(I will be posting many recipes using a lot of these spices in the near future, so keep checking back)
