herbs and spices. Using

butes. It has anti-microbi-
al effects, meaning it can

vation by preventing the
growth of foodborne patho-
gens.
Rosemary is an herb

ties and antimicrobial
activity. It reduces inflam-
mation which is a trigger

er's disease, and heart
disease. Rosemary is also
known to have certain aro-
matherapy effects includ-
ing pain relief, and mood
improvement.
Turmeric is a spice

Cayenne pepper is a

saicin, the active compo-
nent in chili peppers. This
compound helps to block
pain in treating some dis-
eases, aids in regulating
blood sugar levels, and
has also been shown to
kill and slow the growth
of lung and prostate can-
cer cells. Cayenne pepper
is also linked to weight
loss. It has properties that
enhance metabolism, in-
crease fullness and stimu-
late fat burning cells.
Garlic is a spice that
has been shown to im-
prove heart health by
lowering cholesterol and
reducing blood pressure.
It is also known to be an
anti-carcinogen. It may
reduce the risk of several

gus, breast and pancre-
atic by damaging and

cells.
Peppermint is an herb
that has a relaxation ef-
fect on stomach tissue. It
can help to reduce bloat-
ing and relieve abdominal
cramping, nausea, pain
constipation and diarrhea.

ties, peppermint is often
used in management of
stomach cancer, Irritable

bladder disease•
