Super Spices

"Eating a diet rich in spices can help blunt the effects of
high-fat meals, according to research from Pennsylvania
State University.When people in the study ate a spiced-up
heavy meal, their levels of triglycerides (a type of fat in your
bloodstream that can increase your risk of heart disease)
were lower than when they ate bland versions of the same
food. Amp your spice intake by sauteing chicken with
turmeric or stirring cinnamon into oatmeal."
