Spice Up Your Health
You've heard of spicing up your marriage, love life or sex life, but have you heard of spicing up your health? Spicing up your health should be the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear of anything being spiced.
Spices have been used for centuries now and we learn about their amazing health benefits and medicinal qualities daily. Research is still going on to find out even more things we can derive from some spices. Today I bring you some spices and their health benefits.
Cayenne Pepper
This kind of pepper is common in Ghana but most folks don't patronize it because it's a bit difficult to grind. Blenders aren't in every home and you have to soak it in water for awhile before using it. Cayenne pepper may increase metabolism thereby increasing the amount of calories you burn in a day.
Ginger
Garlic
Most people I know don't like garlic because it has a strong smell and taste. I fell in love with it when I realised vampires hate it. Garlic helps to reduce blood pressure and also decrease cholesterol levels. It can be used to treat colds and flu. It's a great at detoxifying.
Turmeric
We recently started using turmeric and it's not quiet common in a lot of households in Ghana. We even planted a few at home but only one plant still stands. Turmeric antioxidant properties and protects against cancer. It is linked to improved brain function and lowering risk of brain disease. It also lowers risk of heart disease.

I use all of those and also do not peel ginger. Too much work and waste! I use turmeric like crazy, but I have to go easy on the peppers though. My body gets very hot from them. Excellent post, @fredkese.
Thank you very much. I like pepper a lot and people ask me if I do drugs because according to them, those who do drugs love pepper.

Delicious! Spices are great for the overall metabolism and digestive system. I certainly like some heat with my meals.
They are tasty, healthy and "heaty"
