Top Ten Spices That Defend You Against Aging

spices, herbs, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, marjoram, sage, thyme, antioxidants, aging, blood sugar, diabetes

Herbs and spices are rich in antioxidants, and they are also potent
inhibitors of tissue damage and inflammation caused by high levels of blood
sugar.

When researchers tested extracts from 24 common herbs and spices, they found
a direct correlation between antioxidant phenol content and the ability of the
extracts to block the formation of compounds that contribute to damage caused by
diabetes and aging.


  • Cloves (ground)
  • Cinnamon (ground)
  • Jamaican allspice (ground)
  • Apple pie spice (mixture)
  • Oregano (ground)
  • Pumpkin pie spice (mixture)
  • Marjoram
  • Sage
  • Thyme
  • Gourmet Italian spice 
  • This is not the first time scientists have declared culinary herbs and spices as potent anti-diabetic alternatives.  

    Cinnamon and cinnamon extracts have previously been shown to effectively lower blood sugar. As a matter of fact, cinnamon was found to increase glucose metabolism 20-fold, in one such study!

    get rid of these 10 smells

    #Sour Milk Smells
    Get rid of the smell of stale, sour milk on fabrics. Soak in white vinegar for a couple of hours and wash in the normal way. If you can't wash the fabric, dab the area with tissue and then apply white vinegar. Dab again and get the area as dry as possible. You might have to do this several times.

    #Stale Freezer Smell.
    Freezer defrosted? The smell can be really bad. Empty the freezer and wash out with soap and warm water then wash the inside with bicarbonate of soda dissolved in a little water. Finally put a cut onion in the bottom and leave overnight. Remove the onion and leave the door of the freezer open for a while. This should get rid of the bad smell.

    #Musty Old Carpets.
    To take smells out of old carpets, use a steam cleaner and put a scoop of Oxyclean, or similar into the water. It will freshen it up again and stop the odour.

    #Plastic Containers
    can sometimes smell, especially if they are stored with their lids on. Crumple a piece of newspaper and put it inside the box, replace the lid and leave overnight. This will remove the smell.

    Fishy Smells.

    Cut a lemon in half and boil it in a little water. The steam disperses the aroma and neutralises the fish smell.

    Pet Puddles.

    White vinegar in warm water will help to get rid of the smell left behind by pet accident

    Damp Cupboard.

    put a box containing cat litter in there. The cat litter will absorb the damp smell and leave the room/cupboard smelling fresh.

    Smelly Microwave.

    Squeeze half a lemon into some water and place the dish into the microwave. Place in the microwave on full power for two minutes. Once the water condenses inside the microwave wipe with a soft absorbent cloth

    Cigarette Smoke.

    in a car can hang around for ages. Soak two towels in white vinegar. Put each into a plastic bowl. Put these near the ashtray and the back seat. Leave over night. When you take the bowls out the smell will have gone

    Stale Smelling Fridge.

    soak a piece of cotton wool in vanilla and leave inside. It will give it
    a lovely clean, fresh aroma
