Spicing It Up

You may not recognize what is on my grits. There are three spices here, Tumeric, ginger, and cinnamon. No, this does not alter the taste. I know you are scratching your head right, but sit back and open yourself up to a new way of thinking.

If you are a fan of Mexican,Mediterranean or Chinese cuisine, it is probably because of the spices. On this day I ran out of my Tumeric/Ginger supplement I went to my spice cabinet and pulled both along with Cinnamon. The Tumeric is great for the relief of arthritic pain and swelling. Ginger is also used as an anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant. Cinnamon is used to speed up the metabolism  of carbohydrates.

Herbs and spices are also mentioned numerous times in the Bible. In Genesis 1:29 it mentions herbs. Leviticas 2:1 talks about Frankincense, which is also a strong spice for healing and was presented at the feet of Jesus. In Exodus 25:6 it talks about using spices for anointing. The queen of Sheba presented the king spices because they were so highly valued.

The moral to this story is that you can improve your health by adding something as simple as a spice. You can add them to your tea, coffee, meats, and vegetables. While most you may not taste, you will slowly change your body in time.

In the time of Jesus spices were also used on the deceased as an embalming agent. There are so many ways to use spices. Yes I know some like frankincense can be pricy but aren’t  you worth it?

Have a great day.
