Ginger: is great as an appetite stimulant and reducing nausea symptoms from treatment, sickness or pregnancy (even hangovers)! It's also a huge help as an anti inflammatory and helps with osteoarthritis and when used topically, rheumatoid arthritis. This site's done their homework: WHFoods
Cinnamon: stimulates the the bodies circulatory system. It helps protect against Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, lowers blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Chinese medicine uses Cassia cinnamon for gas, colds, nausea, diarrhea and painful menstrual periods. Good read: Organic Authority
Tumeric: it contains curcuminoids that help with fighting inflammation. It helps fight and prevent several different kinds of cancer(s), Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It's also a natural liver detoxifier and is used to help with depression, skin repair, weight loss and pain management. There is a risk to people with gallstone or bile obstructions and pregnant women should consult a doctor before taking. This site has a lot of different articles on tumeric: Natural Society
Cayenne Pepper: this one by far is one of my favorites and I try to either use it in my daily cooking or take a capsule before meals. Remember what we learned about red vegetables -- these peppers contain capsaicin, beta carotene and tons of other antioxidants. Not only does it help with cancer prevention, but also helps with weight loss and fighting off infections/viruses. This site covers all the bases: Global Healing Center
Here are a few more good website sources that refer to different foods and spices that can potentially help fight off cancer: The Cancer Cure Foundation, Meals to Heal and Lifescript.
How do you incorporate these spices into your everyday eating?
