I use fresh herbs for cooking, on salads and for tea. Herbs are tasty and also have a long list of health and beauty benefits.
Burn fat faster with fresh basil.
Basil has calcium that suppresses the body’s output of calcitriol, a hormone that promotes belly fat storage. According to a study at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, basil results in melting belly fat 81% faster than not eating basil. The herb also has a great source of manganese that stabilizes levels of glucose - regulating insulin to stop cravings and stop sugar highs and lows.
Natural pain relief is a great benefit to generously sprinkling basil on foods.
Basil has component in the herbs natural oil that keeps the nerves from being over sensitized so muscle pain is lessened naturally. Research from Michigan State University in East Lansing says basil relieves muscle pain as well as aspirin without stomach problems.

Vitamin K is the key nutrient in basil that stimulates the production of thrombin, a clotting protein that obstructs circulation to damaged veins and reroutes blood to larger healthy vessels. This can help spider veins and varicose veins to fade in as little as six weeks according to researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.

Basil can improve the appreance of wrinkles by 66% suggests scientists at Kasturba Medical College in India. The credit goes to the vitamin A speeding the skin cell turnover and basil’s flavonoids which helps the skin pumping collagen.
To enjoy these great benefits start a kitchen basil herb garden. Pinch off the herb to use daily and reap the benefits. I keep some dried but really like to use it fresh for seasoning and on so many foods.
