Spices don't just serve to spice up, season dishes, and enhance the flavor of food.

Technically, the soft and hard parts of certain aromatic plants are considered to be a spice and have been used since ancient times not only for their flavor but also for their medicinal properties.

There is a group of spices that have the main effect of reducing inflammation, eliminating gas, and, as a consequence, leading to a flatter belly 

In order to activate the properties of these spices, it is necessary to heat them.
