Spice it up!

Are you interested in an easy and delicious way to increase your antioxidant and nutrition intake? Add herbs and spices to your favorite foods – it’s that simple.

To get the most benefit:

1) Use only organic or wild-crafted herbs and spices. (It’s counter productive to use anything that has been processed and or sprayed.)

2) Use herbs and spices fresh and uncooked. Those dehydrated under 118° are good but fresh herbs and spices are best, particularly if you grow your own.

3) Add herbs and spices at the end of cooking, after you have removed foods from heat. This includes salt and pepper.

If you’re still using salt, consider switching to sea salt or better still, kelp. Powered kelp is a very mineral-rich substitute that will help you forget all about salt.

Cooked black pepper is an irritant (expecially to kidney, liver and gall bladder areas) and irritation causes inflammation. Instead, look for raw peppercorns and grind your own. Freshly ground raw black pepper is delicious, has a tonic effect and even aids digestion.
