Hum Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Not sure where this belongs, but I guessed this falls under Health. I have listed the jist of the article. Panax ginseng in particular has weight-loss properties Cayenne pepper increases metabolism Cinnamon can boost metabolism and increase insulin levels Not only does Black pepper improve digestion, it also helps burn fat at a faster Dandelions cleanse the body and slow down digestion :x Mustard is actually a great weight-loss tool Turmeric can also help reduce the chance of diabetes [seems like a duplicate, since regular mustard contains tumeric] Studies show that Ginger can suppress appetite, aid digestion, remove toxins and raise the temperature of the body to boost metabolism Cardamom boosts metabolism and is low in saturated fat [never heard of the stuff, myself] Cumin helps the digestive process and production of energy while boosting the immune system Read more here: http://www.cnn.com/2...erbs/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Cinnamon supplements definitely help my blood sugar control - after a few weeks my average went down about 10%. Every little bit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threetonesun Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Despite how good cardamom might be for your health, it tastes like trees and gardens; it's possibly the worse spice ever discovered Maybe you got a bad batch, or something. It's similar to ginger, in that it's a strong spice usually used in sweet foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom1981 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 They do not say if they mean the flowers or the leaves of dandelions. The leaves are in salads all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
