Cardiovascular disease: garlic, rosemary, cinnamon, coriander, fenugreek, ginger, oregano, mustard and thyme protect against high cholesterol levels, "sticky platelets", atherosclerosis and high blood pressure
Diabetes: cinnamon and fenugreek can lower the blood glucose and cholesterol levels of diabetic patients by 25%
Aging: spices slow the aging process by protecting DNA against oxidative damage and decay
Weight loss: chillies, ginger, garlic and fenugreek can help to control obesity by appetite suppression, inhibition of fat absorption and by helping to "burn off" fat Medicinal Seasonings not only contains up to date scientific research into the healing properties of spices but also gives a fascinating account of the historical reasons how spices have become incorporated into the cuisines of different nations.
