Cinnamon
This natural germ-fighter also helps lower blood sugar, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels – ¼ teaspoon a day is a healthy goal. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your coffee beans, toast, apples, ice cream, cereals, oatmeal, etc.

Thyme
Sprinkle on grilled poultry, fish, and as a meat marinade by virtue of its minty, lemony flavor. Use as a vinaigrette — Yum! RealAge lists thyme as a healthy herb by virtue of its cancer-fighting properties.

Cumin
Concealed in your humble chili powder is one of the world's most popular spices (it's a key ingredient in Indian curries too) and another cancer-fighting soldier. Add cumin to rice and grain salads and marinades.

Oregano
GI's brought oregano home from Italy after WWII. Leaves of this herb boast 42 times more antioxidants than apples. Use oregano to add a delicate flavor to salad dressings, garlic bread, omelets, as well as your favorite pastas.

Research is now showing that these spices we've used for flavorings are nutritionally good for you. Serve up a meal tonight using one of these spices!
