Aiming to improve your oral health? Try integrating the spices profiled below into your cooking for a cozy, healthy winter!<\/p>\n

Just what are the best spices that can help you ward off the winter chills as well as improve your oral health?<\/p>\n

1. Cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cinnamon is one of the most popular spices, used in eggnog, cookies, scents, teas, pies, you get the idea! Cinnamon is a wonderful spice to have in your spice collection as it has actually been shown to improve your oral health via decreasing blood sugar – \u00a0one of the contributing causes to gum illness and diabetic issues.
\n
\n2. Turmeric<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turmeric contains curcumin, which is an antioxidant as well as an anti-inflammatory. Curcumin minimizes the swelling of your gums if you’re suffering from gum disease and could help improve your oral health by improving your blood circulation. Turmeric is most favored in food preparation and makes for a wonderful chai tea.<\/p>\n

3. Rosemary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rosemary is a staple in the kitchen and normally serves as a cooking spice. It’s also great on baked bread. Rosemary has been shown to increase blood flow, helping you improve your oral health and also stimulating your circulatory, digestive and immune systems. Find your new rosemary recipe online and enjoy!<\/p>\n

4. Ginger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ginger, like turmeric, can be used in everything from cooking to baking to hot chai teas. Ginger can help reduce the swelling of your gums as well as the queasiness that may sometimes come with a toothache or post-dental surgery.<\/p>\n
