Are you a fan of pumpkin spice flavoured food and drinks?
Good news is the spices that are mixed together to make pumpkin spice each have their own health benefits. It’s generally made up of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
- Cinnamon: is thought to help control blood sugar levels.
- Nutmeg: has been used to treat many afflictions including cancer and kidney disease, but more research is needed.
- Ginger -seems to be an effective treatment for nausea and morning sickness.
- Cloves: are used to treat toothaches.
- Allspice: is good for things like intestinal gas, diarrhea, flu and colds.
And let’s not forget pumpkin. While it isn’t actually an ingredient in ALL Pumpkin spice products, when it is used it’s high in vitamin A, which is good for your eyes, skin, and fighting infections.
Still trying to find research on the whipped cream part and what it’s benefits are 😝
