Looking for an easy (and tasty!) way to boost nutrition and increase your intake of antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients? Try cooking with herbs! Did you know that ALL herbs (and spices) contain a wide variety of therapeutic phytonutrients? Although there are countless phytonutrients, thus making it impossible to isolate the health-promoting benefits of each and every one, scientists do know certain phyotnutrients, such as the ursolic acid found in rosemary, actually have the ability to “turn off” certain disease and age-accelerating genes. For example, the ursolic acid in rosemary in essence shuts down NF-kB, which is a highly damaging transcription factor that promotes inflammation and free radical / cell damage (Note: Transcription factors are proteins that control which genes are turned “on” or “off”).
