Black Pepper and Disease Prevention


Black Pepper

This spice is ideal for general prevention of diseases and disorders. Unfortunately, most commercial ground pepper is roasted and is therefore an irritant rather than a stimulant. To make fresh ground pepper, we should use a peppermill and whole peppercorns. For the acute conditions it must be used several time a day. Freshly ground black pepper can be stirred into soups, herbal teas, or added to food.

Properties of Black Pepper:
  • Black pepper is warming; it stimulates a warming stream of energy in the body. It particularly warms the abdomen and is used in the treatment of diarrhea and watery stools.
  • Black pepper is diaphoretic—opens the pores for sweating and is useful at the onset of the common cold.
  • It is a very hot/pungent flavor and it benefits the lungs and assist in the protection against simple viral infections such as colds and flus.
  • It counteracts food poisoning and indigestion.

Chromium Picolinate

Chromium picolinate is often promoted as having the ability to even out blood sugar levels while enhancing the body's fat burning . Some studies have shown that adding chromium to a person's diet may help to normalize sugar levels in diabetics, but not in everyone. It is an ideal supplement for more mature adults, as the body absorbs less chromium as we age. Chromium picolinate may also be helpful in suppressing appetites and cravings. Additionally, it has been shown to build muscle and trim fat simultaneously. If taken with exercise and as part of a calorie-controlled diet, the results can be noticeable. Dosage should not exceed 1,200 mcg per day, as this may result in liver and kidney problems. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid chromium picolinate.
