Bursting with spicy, flavorful, and healthful spices, a yummy stew can be enjoyed for any meal. Eat it with rice or bread at lunch or for dinner and enjoy the leftovers for breakfast by placing it in a cast iron pan with a few cracked eggs and bake for 10 minutes or so at 425°F.

For extra protein, add a bit of chicken, tofu, or beans into the mix.

Ingredient Benefits

Cumin is a powerful diuretic and digestive tonic that treats diarrhea, colic, bowel spasms, and gas (1) The little seed also fights inflammation and relieves muscle soreness (2). It’s even been reported to have antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, and larvicidal effects as well as the ability to lower blood sugar, reduce seizures, strengthen bones, and treat eye problems.

Cauliflower contains indole-3-carbinol or I3C, an anti-inflammatory nutrient which stimulates cellular detoxification (3). It also prevents the development of cancer. Plus, the veggie contains sulforaphane, a compound that improves blood pressure and kidney function as well as assures normal cellular function and proper gene expression (4).

Coconut is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory foods, being often recommended to patients suffering from Alzheimer’s, IBS, and inflammatory disorders. Both coconut oil and coconut milk contain analgesic and antipyretic compounds as well as medium-chain fatty acids that can reverse cognitive decline (5).

Turmeric works so well against inflammation that it can be used to treat arthritis just as effectively as ibuprofen. It can even be used to treat inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and stomach ulcers (6). If you do suffer from an inflammatory condition, get your daily dose of the powerful spice by making your own turmeric supplements or preparing a cup of golden milk.
