The age of fifty is considered one of the most delicate stages in a person's life when some diseases begin to appear.
Therefore, you should pay attention to health and the approved diet, and pay more attention to nutrients rich in antioxidants that protect health and reduce the risk of diseases.
Here are five spices to add to the list after age 50, according to Let Me Actual:
Turmeric for the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases
The World Health Organization says that turmeric is very powerful and effective in soothing "minor gastrointestinal disturbances" due to several molecules (consisting of curcumin) that regulate bile secretion.
In the case of acid reflux, heartburn, gas, or stomach pain at the end of a meal, it is recommended to drink turmeric tea.
To prepare it, steep 1 gram of turmeric powder in 150 ml of boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes.
On the other hand, contrary to popular belief, turmeric may not have any effect on joint pain. Thus, in 2018, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission tested the medical facts and found that dietary supplements containing curcumin “cannot be advertised to make contributions to the normal functioning of joints.
Cinnamon to prevent diabetes
Cinnamon can help you avoid diabetes
Several scientific studies have shown that cinnamon facilitates the action of insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar, so it is a favorite ally for people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes.
Thus, according to a study published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society in July 2020, blood sugar levels in diabetics who regularly consume cinnamon increase less (and less rapidly) after meals.
Black pepper protects the joints
Black pepper is traditionally used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve joint pain.
According to work done by Wenzhou Medical College (in China), piperine, the active ingredient of black pepper, has anti-inflammatory properties that will particularly contribute to the protection of joint cartilage.
Therefore, it is recommended to use black pepper in particular in cases of osteoporosis:
Feel free to sprinkle it on all dishes, and in the case of treatment-resistant joint pain, use it in moderation.
