Cinnamon, ginger and turmeric, all three spices have a comprehensive health-promoting effect. We recommend incorporating as many of them as possible into your diet!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is the dried powder of the bark of the cinnamon tree. Its original home is in India and Ceylon. Ceylon cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). Compared to the spicy cassia cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon is milder, more aromatic and contains only small amounts of coumarin.

Cinnamon has plenty of health-promoting properties and

• has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect (1)
• regulates blood sugar levels (2) and insulin secretion
• promotes fat burning (3)
• has an anti-carcinogenic effect (4).

Note: The flavoring coumarin in cassia cinnamon can damage the liver if consumed in large quantities

Ginger

The ginger root originally comes from the tropics but is now also cultivated in Germany. Its main constituents are essential oils, bitter substances and gingerol. The secondary plant substance gingerol makes ginger spicy and aromatic.

Ginger

• has a stimulating, antispasmodic, expectorant, detoxifying, antibiotic (5), stomachic and digestive effect
• has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect (6)
• increases intestinal activity and bile flow
• strengthens the immune system (7)
• helps you lose weight (8)

Turmeric

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family and is known to many as the main ingredient in curry powder. The turmeric plant is native to Southeast Asia.

The underground golden-yellow rhizomes are of great interest to health enthusiasts as they have numerous health-promoting properties (9). The yellow pigment curcumin plays a major role in this.

Turmeric

• has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect (10)
• has an anti-carcinogenic effect (11)
• activates the flow of bile
• promotes fat burning (12)
• supports the formation of liver enzymes and has a detoxifying effect (13)
• has a cleansing effect on our blood vessels and thus protects against cardiovascular diseases (14) and Alzheimer’s (15)
• alleviates depressive disorders (16)

The bioavailability of curcumin can be increased many times over in combination with black pepper (piperine) and coconut oil. For a therapeutic effect, 8 – 10 g of fresh turmeric root or ½-1 teaspoon of turmeric powder can be taken or consumed per day.

This is the best way to integrate cinnamon, ginger and turmeric into your diet:

• Use cinnamon, ginger and turmeric as often as possible to season your food.
• Use curry or create your own spice mix: the most important curry ingredients include turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, ginger and, in smaller quantities, cloves and cinnamon.
• Turmeric capsules are now available. The capsules contain a mixture of curcumin and piperine (active ingredient in black pepper)
• Combine turmeric, cinnamon and ginger in a drink and drink the “Golden Milk”.

So-called “Shots” – concentrates made from fresh ginger and/or turmeric roots – are very effective.
