Cayenne Pepper
The capsaicin found in cayenne pepper is what makes it spicy and also what gives it its flavor. It is often used in pain-relieving ointments that reduce inflammation and it can also aid in weight loss by raising your core temperature and giving more energy.
Ginger
This root has been used to reduce inflammation and pain. It attacks inflammation through powerful antioxidants that prevent the production of free radicals.
Rosemary
This is one of the best smelling herbs and it increases the activity of superoxide dismutase, which is an enzyme that removes superoxide, a strong free radical that is associated with chronic inflammation.
These herbs and spices can be consumed in a variety of ways. One of the easiest ways is to have them in the form of a tea. You can find most of them fresh or dried in the herbs and spices aisle at the supermarket. It would also be beneficial to your health to add them to your favorite recipes. Rosemary always goes great with chicken and you can add a dash of powdered cayenne to almost any dish for an added kick of flavor. It’s a good rule of thumb to drink tea after a meal and if you include any of these, they will definitely help keep the bloat down.
