Some of our favorite seasonal spices are loaded with health benefits.


Certain spices just seem to suit the season - and a few of our winter favorites have some significant health benefits:

* Cinnamon is a nutritional powerhouse. It’s got iron, calcium and manganese and is loaded with antioxidants too. It can help to lower bad cholesterol and even relieve congestion.

* Cloves rank the highest on the antioxidant spice scale. They can relieve symptoms of asthma and arthritis and even boost creativity and mental focus.

* Ginger is a wonder spice with super healthy compounds. It helps protect our organs and tissues and can sooth several seasonal woes.

* Nutmeg has antibacterial properties. Just a pinch can help stave off indigestion, gas, insomnia and anxiety.
