– Heart Health Benefits

Eating heart-healthy foods will lower the risk of heart attack and stroke. Indian foods can be very heart-healthy because they are high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, raw or unsalted nuts, liquid vegetable oils, and spices. These types of foods positively influence blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol levels and inflammation, all of which are risk factors for heart disease.

– Anti-Cancer Benefits

Natural remedies have been around for centuries. In some cases, there hasn’t been enough scientific research done to prove the positive health claims. One spice being studied for its preventative qualities is that key ingredient found in Indian food is curcumin. The anti-inflammatory medicine that is found in turmeric. It is a commonly used spice in Indian food which lends the dishes the bright yellow color and delicious flavor profile to each meal. The American Cancer Society found that curcumin eliminates cancer cells and helps reduce the size of tumors in animals, but the research in humans is ongoing.

Cumin has been infused in traditional medicines and is a rich source of iron. Cumin’s antioxidant ingredients exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial properties. It can also aid in food-borne infections and helps with digestion.

Antioxidant rich foods are essential for a healthy diet and overall health.
