Want to spice up your life and boost your metabolism?

Who doesn't want a little spice in their life?

   Try a little cayenne pepper to foods like vegetables, turkey, chicken, even tuna. This will improve your circulation,ulcers, heart health, and help fight prostate cancer.
   Having problems with bloating, gas, or stomach upset ? Add ginger to your daily diet. This spicy herb could be used grated or sliced and added to a savory or sweet recipe or even drank as a tea.
    Oh cinnamon my personal favorite. I add this to my shakes. Also great on oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, and veggies like sweet potatoes and carrots. Love it!  This bad boy helps reduce inflammation, blood triglyceride levels, and even lower blood sugar. Not to mention it's a wonderful source of maganese, iron, and calcium.
      Oregano is another one that is a must have in my kitchen. Being a pizza lover gotta have it. Also great for stews and sauces. Never realized before that oregano leaves and oil are used to treat cough, fever, congestion, and body aches. Not to mention has antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, and antibiotic properties. Wow! That's pretty interesting.
     A great spice to add to your soups, salads, sauces, pasta, meats, and even pizza - basil.  Your body can be protected by premature aging, some cancers, and common skin problems, with powerful antioxidants.
   A popular herb used to season sauces, soups, salads and pasta dishes, basil is known to have exceptionally powerful antioxidant properties that can protect the body from premature aging, common skin issues and some types of cancer.
