Kitchen Cabinet Cancer Fighters
Most gourmands would agree with the old adage "Spice is nice." And now scientists do too. Inside your kitchen cabinet there are probably dozens of spices and herbs you should be using more liberally… and more often.
Rosemary is one of them.
Health Benefits of Rosemary
Recent research published in Oncology Reports found that rosemary has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. What’s more, this piney spice showed strong cancer-fighting activity against leukemia and breast cancer cell lines.
Because rosemary is so effective at inhibiting oxidation, you may already have started to see it listed as a natural preservative (Vitiva) in some of your favorite foods. In the meantime, add this "herb of remembrance" to marinades, salad dressings, and teas to boost their flavor and antioxidant value.
