Benefits Of Basil
Basil is a popular cooking herb, especially in Italian and Asian dishes. A
member of the mint family, basil has a distinct anise-like flavor. But
besides just adding taste to your cooking dishes, basil has several health
benefits as well.
This little herb may help lower cholesterol and enhance the immune system.
Several compounds in sweet basil could also promote liver health. An
Egyptian study showed that six compounds extracted from basil helped protect
the liver against oxidative stress. In an Indian study, leaf extracts from
holy basil helped lower blood sugar, by as much as 17 percent in fasting
glucose and 7 percent in glucose readings immediately following a meal.
~Be Blessed, Sugar
