Cinnamon and oregano are two of the McCormick seven Super Spices highlighted for their antioxidant activity that is comparable to many fruits and vegetables, including today’s “super foods.”

“Because the Super Spices are commonly found in home pantries, they can be such an economical and convenient enhancement to a daily meal and snack routine,” Bazilian says.

Bazilian and McCormick offer simple tips to incorporate wellness into every day living:

● Stay hydrated with water, green tea or lowfat milk throughout the day to keep up energy levels.

● Add a flavor and a health-boosting kick to hummus or guacamole by stirring in 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper or crushed red pepper.

● Brown-bag it to work. Packing a lunch is one of the easiest ways to positively influence diet and avoid unhealthy temptations inside or outside the office.

● Create spiced Curried Pilaf by adding 1/2 teaspoon yellow curry to 2 cups hot cooked rice. Add flavor and texture with a handful of shredded carrots, peas, raisins or toasted sliced almonds.
