"Chances are, your cupboard is filled with spices that can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce your risk of diabetes and dementia, boost your metabolism, support weight loss, relieve arthritis, and even prevent cancer! But do you know what they are or how to use them? Celebrity diet doctor Melina Jampolis is passionate about using food as medicine, so she created this practical guide to help you navigate the health benefits of some of the most common spices used. Since Dr. Melina is not a chef, nor a very good cook, she enlisted the help of dozens of her high-profile friends, well-known MDs, celebrity colleagues, and chefs to give you over 80 spice-filled, delicious, and healthful recipes." -- Description provided by publisher.
