I use turmeric and black pepper a lot. Ginger and garlic are also great. Dried parsley and Moringa powder I add to my lunch for supplement purposes. Chili peppers are great on pizza.

Ginger/garlic are def among the healthiest ever but they’re so hard to put in food b/c of taste. Cinnamon I spray very liberally. Parsley is important b/c apigenin but takes effort to sprinkle in

I’ve had trouble with too much cinnamon. I guess it naturally lowers blood sugar? I kept adding more and more to my morning oatmeal until I had heart palpitations and hot flashes several days in a row as I kept the cinnamon high. When I realized it could be the cinnamon I cut it out and have been back to normal for months. I’ve never had blood sugar issues, so I think it was too much unnecessary intervention.
Masala chai - Wikipedia this really has all the powerful spices (anise, cloves). Just do it sugar-free and in vegan form (alas most of it is NOT in these forms). I just had an interesting taste of them at the stalls in st. pancreas.
https://foodsofnations.com/ is a great source of spices
you know, i’ve finally developed a taste for eating raw cloves.
