If you're trying to eat less, red pepper might help. Some studies have shown that when people added red pepper to their food they ate fewer calories during that meal – and even during the next meal. It seems that capsaicin helps increase satiety, or a feeling of fullness.

This would be a great prize to win.

I always knew cinnamon was helpful if you were trying to lose or control your weight, but I didn't know that "when it comes to antioxidant prowess, cinnamon vies for top billing along with blueberries and pomegranate juice."

I knew that cinnamon was high in anti oxidants, but I did not know it was one of the highest fodds. I also did not know that because of the polyphenols, it might help to regulate blood sugar

WOW - I didn't know that cinnamon would keep apples from turning brown. That's a great tip! Much better than lemon juice!

Well I didn't know that spices were so healthy. I learned that cinnamon has one of the highest antioxident levels of any spice. You will find as much antioxidents in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon as in 1/2 cup of blueberries.

Keep a jar of Crushed Red Pepper at the table. Use to add a touch of heat from everything to pizza to salad, soup, eggs and meat.
That is one thing I have already been doing to spice up meals without just adding salt or pepper.
The cinnamon tips are great and I will be using them too.

I like this simple tip:

Keep a shaker of Ground Cinnamon handy to sprinkle over everything from hot cocoa to oatmeal and fruit salad.

I learned that just a teaspoon of thyme contains approximately the same amount of antioxidants as a carrot or a half cup of chopped tomatoes. And with a daughter with juvenile arthritis, I like that it may offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
