One of the fastest ways to boost your health is to change simple aspects of your diet. Firstly, by replacing processed seasonings with home-grown organic seasonings that are free from chemical sprays and toxic enhancements. Such green seasonings are not only better for your health but they actually change the taste of your food altogether, ensuring a more tasty and flavorful outcome.
There are a wide range of fresh green seasonings that are easy to grow, in addition to their ability to thrive in extreme weather conditions.
Such examples are as follows, Shadow Benny which some people know as Culantro, Chive also know as green onion, Spanish thyme also known as Cuban Oregano, Mexican Mint or by some people in rural areas of the Caribbean as Codina, Rosemary which is not just a seasoning but mainly known for its medicinal purposes, Fine-leaved thyme also known as French thyme, Pimento peppers which are not hot but are full of flavors, just to list a few.
Those mentioned are among my favorites however there are many others.
Although, if you desire spicy foods you can plant your own hot peppers, dragon and scorpion peppers to avoid the use of processed Cajun spice and paprika.
and healthier years because of these very simple adjustments that many people of this generation and future will overlook, refusing to indulge in them hence there are now so many sicknesses and diseases. People have essentially eliminated most of the natural recources from their daily lives.
Secondly, changing your tea by implementing freshly grown produce that can be used as a substitute to the grocery packaged tea bags and all the alternatives. Some that I personally use are Bay leaf, Paw paw, Shadow benny, Spanish thyme and Rosemary tea. All of the mentioned comes with a wide array of benefits to your overall health.

Fruits which provide natural sugar instead of artificial or processed sugars can also be used in place of purchased snacks which can cause diabetes and other complications later on in life. Examples of such fruits are, mangoes, guava, grapes, pineapples, avocados and cherries.
Overall, using vegetables like pumpkin, chorayia bhaji, ochro and others in place of meats, especially home grown chemical free veges can extend one’s life span.
