Diet and nutrition can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, mental decline and stroke.

Herbs and spices can be used to enhance immunity, boost metabolism, and aid digestion.

Parsley

Cloves, cayenne, ginger and bay leaf lessen your risk of inflammation and excess insulin by raising metabolism or by lowering glucose levels.
