Nutmeg is a powerful antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is a popular spice in cuisine around the world; however, it seems that its benefits for the body are widely underrated. It contains cyanidins, essential oils, phenolic compounds, and other powerful antioxidants, maintaining cell health and slowing cell decay and aging.
Studies have shown that nutmeg fights tooth decaying bacteria, inhibits the growth of E. Coli bacteria strains, and acts as a detoxifier.
Nutmeg is used to regulate blood sugar levels and to improve heart and brain health. It is indicated for reducing anxiety, and in helping to prevent leukaemia. It contains myristicin, a beneficial compound that could be effective against Alzheimer’s and other cognitive diseases.
