Researchers
at the University of California, San Diego identified a small fishing village
south of Naples inside the Cilento National Park that has an unusual
concentration of citizens over the age of 100, with very low rates of
Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
Many research studies are now under way to
identify why these people live so long and so well.
Do you
know that Shakespeare wrote about this herb 400 years ago but people did not
take his words serious. Those words ring true today.
Back to
my story!
But
what was reported to be unique in this town was the prevalence of the herb
called rosemary in the residents’
diet. The healing power of spices to battle inflammation and promote healthy
sugar levels, brains, and hearts is well-known.
Here are some of the reported benefits of rosemary:
It improves the health of arteries
It can improve memory
It may
suppress cancer cells
It may
improve arthritis because of its anti-inflammatory effects.
It may
improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels
It may
help with hair loss
Rosemary,
a fragrant herb related to mint can be grown in your garden as far the garden
is fertile.
