Sprinkle antioxidant-rich herbs on your greasy meals to help protect against harmful fats.
Research by American professor Sheila West demonstrates that antioxidants can reduce blood fat content by up to 30% after a high-fat meal. Fats from such meals are converted into energy or stored as triglycerides in fat cells—a process that significantly raises the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Spice It Up
Adding a mixture of herbs to your meals shields you from the harmful effects of fats. Top antioxidant-rich options include black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, garlic, ginger, oregano, paprika, and turmeric.
Caution: Salt is not a herb!
