There’s a new wave sweeping through naturopathic medicine that says that eating certain spices regularly can actually lengthen your lifespan. If you ask any Indian doctor, though, they’ll laugh at you. They’ve known for years that turmeric and cinnamon help you live longer.
Turmeric is loaded with vitamins and minerals that help relieve arthritis, control diabetes, reduce your cholesterol levels, and boost your immune system. Cinnamon is filled with antioxidants that fight cancer and eating it regularly cuts your risk of heart disease.
