Thanksgiving is officially one week away!
This means we’re rearing to dive head-first into the holiday season. And with all the delicious pies, casseroles, fun family gatherings and holiday shopping comes another, unwanted guest…
Stress. The last-minute shopping, the scrambling to make sure all the dinner staples are hot and ready, and even that one family member who always brings up a touchy topic at dinner are enough to send your blood pressure SOARING.
But I have some good news…
A certain “Thanksgiving spice blend” can help LOWER your blood pressure – while making those traditional dinner dishes extra tasty!
According to a study recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, adding generous portions of herbs and spices to your food can lower your blood pressure in as little as ONE MONTH.
Lead researchers found that seasoning foods with 6.5 grams, or about 1.3 teaspoons, of herbs and spices a day was linked with lower blood pressure after four weeks.
The study found that consuming the diet that included a high dose of herbs and spices, folks had lower systolic blood pressure than after the diet that only incorporated a small to moderate number of herbs and spices.
The study looked at 24 different herbs and spices, ranging from basil and thyme to cinnamon and turmeric.

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
You see, while most folks exclusively use salt to season their food, herbs and spices contain less overall sodium than salt, which can have benefits for your overall heart health… and not to mention, provide a larger flavor profile!
And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, this is a perfect time to whip up your own Thanksgiving spice ‘blend’ that will not only make your food taste great… but help your heart, too.
For instance, basil and thyme are great toppings for your Thanksgiving turkey, mashed potatoes, and even the gravy.
And cinnamon is a no-brainer for pumpkin pie… and even gives your sweet potato casserole a little extra ‘kick.’
You can also find salt-free, spice ‘blends’ in the spice aisle of your local grocery store.
So, this Thanksgiving, instead of just ‘passing the salt’ … consider jazzing up your dishes with some spices and herbs.
You’ll guests will love it… and so will your heart!
