For cooking delicious meals, herbs provide the right ingredients but do we ever ponder that that many of the common herbs are very beneficial to health. If we are really convinced about the health benefits of herbs, we would perhaps modify some of our eating habits a little and enjoy a tasty and healthy meal.

The herbs are mostly full of anti-oxidants. The medical research has proved that anti-oxidants are helpful in protecting us against the free radicals which are present in the air around us, to which we are continuously exposed. The free radicals are the pollutants in the environment. These are also found in processed food and when we are stressed. They also cause damage to tissues and cells which go on to cause ageing, cancer autoimmune diseases and some others. We could have whole grains, fruits, vegetables and herbs to save us from the free radicals providing enough anti oxidants. We could also eat anti-oxidant pills to protect ourselves.
