Healthy Spices

Good Morning All,

For some of us picky eaters it can sometimes be harder to incorporate healthier foods into your diet. So instead of completely substituting some foods why don't you try and spice them up with some healthy spices.
Did you know?
  • Oregano contains vitamin K that helps build bones
  • Cinnamon can help reduce risk factors of diabetes and heart disease
  • Nutmeg is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds
  • Cumin contains iron.
Those are only some of the healthy benefits spices can have, for more info on different healthy spices and ideas on how to incorporate them into your food, please see below article recently published by yahoo:
