Spices and Herbs: A no cal way to double your food's Nutritional Value

“If you set up a good herb and spice cabinet and season your food liberally, you could double or even triple the medicinal value of your meal without increasing the caloric content.”    Diane Hartle, Note spices are perhaps the best way to increase the nutrient density of your food; don't miss this one

On my kitchen counter are 18 quart bottles of spices and herbs. EVERYTHING I prepare to eat gets a good unmeasured shaking of herbs and often some spices. Most of my teas and drink concoctions will receive LOTS of spices. You can easily double your anti-oxidant and other nutrient intake this way.

Herbs and spices often have antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-CANCER, anti-fungal,anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, antimicrobial, anti-congestive and anti-diarrheal properties; they impart a flavor and zing without adding calories which aids digestion and have many other salubrious properties.

I buy herbs often by the five pound lot.
