Speaker: David Winston, RH (AHG) Without spices, our food would be much the poorer in both taste and nutritional value. The world’s great cuisines liberally use garlic, cayenne, ginger, cinnamon, oregano, black pepper, as well as traditional spice blends to dazzle our palates and create symphonies of flavor. Many people are aware that almost all of these aromatic herbs also act as carminatives, helping to improve digestion and relieve GI upset. What is not as well known is that these same herbs offer a plethora of other medicinal effects. Spices are often anti-inflammatory, act as antioxidants, lower blood sugar levels, enhance circulation, improve neurological function, relieve depression, reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease, as well as having significant antibacterial and antiviral activity. In this class we will explore the less well known benefits of the herbs found in your spice cabinet, which is a treasure trove of flavor and therapeutic benefits for preventing and treating disease.
