Your palate readily takes to the tang of turmeric, paprika and mustard. And so does your stomach -- i.e. digestive health -- it would seem. From killing bacteria to soothing cramps, the good ol' spice rack strikes back.

Here's what to stock:

-A dash of turmeric or saffron keeps stress (which diverts attention away from digestion) at bay.
-Cinnamon kills bad bacteria and lets good bacteria (that helps regulate your digestive system) grow.
-Add a drop of peppermint to tea to soothe menstrual cramps and diarrhea.
-Sweet-smelling cardamom, a staple in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, prevents gas.
-All-star mustard seeds purify blood, neutralize toxins and monitor the digestive tract.
(No wonder Koff's Homestyle Mustard, made with turmeric, saffron, apple cider and vinegar, pleases taste buds and tummies, too.)

THANKS!
