An excellent source of iron, cumin is a wonderful addition to the diet of pregnant and nursing women, or anyone in need of a boost iron intake. Adequate iron is crucial for red blood cells and thus oxygen flow in our bodies. Athlete's and active individuals require more iron and should use cumin liberally.

 3.      Ginger:

 We have all been told since childhood that ginger ale will alleviate stomach discomfort when we are sick...but do you take it a step further?  You should! Ginger has been found to reduce nausea, vomiting, dizziness and cold sweating. In addition, ginger contains gingerols, which are anti-inflammatory compounds. These gingerols are also the compound that give ginger its distinctive flavor. We suggest adding freshly grated ginger to vegetables before roasting for a delicious and nutritious side dish, or addiing a 1-2 tsp chunk of fresh ginger into a smoothie or green drink.
