The typical diet of Americans includes fried foods, aspartame-rich “diet” food,
and hormone-filled dairy products.
With such unhealthy food going inside our bodies, sometimes we ask ourselves
if there’s something in them that keeps us alive.
The answer is, well, there is!
Hidden inside these highly processed foods are ingredients
with many health benefits.
The health boosters mentioned in this article are those that
are not popularly known as health food.
Read on to find out what those are.
Mustard
We may only consider it as a condiment, but mustard is actually a medicinal paste
that’s made from mustard seeds.
It contains the cancer-fighting selenium, which is a trace mineral
that gets wiped out from over-farmed land.
Mustard has many medicinal properties.
It has been used by many civilizations for thousands of years
as an anti-fungal and antiseptic treatment.
It is also known to help alleviate the symptoms of migraine.
Another health benefit of mustard is that its ingredients
don’t include yeast extract or MSG.
Hence, even mustard products that are not organic are healthful to eat.
Spices
Almost all of the pungent spices used for cooking like paprika, rosemary,
cinnamon, and cloves have potent medicinal properties.
Here are some herbs and their uses:
· Rosemary is an herb that can detoxify your body and
cure common digestive problems.
· Ginger boosts your body’s immunity and enhances your circulatory system.
It’s also a good cure for muscle pain, flu, and colds.
· Turmeric, which is one of the main ingredients of curry,
has anti-inflammatory properties.
It also contains anti-oxidants that help fight cancer.
Nearly all of the spices that you can find at your local supermarket
are medicinal herbs.
However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that just because a certain processed product
contains those herbs, it’s already healthful to consume.
Stay away from, say, processed barbeque sauce.
While barbeque sauce often contains paprika and mustard,
which are two health-enhancing spices,
the over-processed kind is loaded
with chemicals and sweeteners
that won’t do your health any good.
Cole Slaw
One of the main ingredients of cole slaw is raw cabbage, which is one
of the most useful natural medicines around.
Raw cabbage has been used for thousands of years as a treatment
for stomach ulcers.
Furthermore, it is packed with indole-3-carbinol, which is a phytochemical
that has cancer-fighting properties.
Of course, it is best to consume homemade cole slaw.
But if you don’t have the time to do so and your only resort
is the store-bought kind, then be sure to carefully
go through the ingredients list.
Stay away from those that use processed ingredients
like canola oil and high fructose corn syrup.
Nuts
Nuts are a common ingredient in snack food such as chocolate bars.
Most of us think that they only serve to enhance the flavor of the food
that they’re mixed into.
But in reality, they carry with them many health benefits.
For instance, eating walnuts will help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease,
heart attacks, and prostate cancer.
Pecans help reduce cholesterol levels and enhance brain protection.
When buying nuts, take note that raw is still the best.
Heat processing merely destroys most of the nuts’ natural medicine.
Avoid purchasing salted and flavored nuts that
are laced with chemical flavor enhancers.
