Cloves: An Ally for Your Brain Hea
Health Benefits Beyond Flavor
Cloves are “more than just a flavor enhancer”—they offer researched health benefits.
A key compound, eugenol, may protect brain cells and support memory,
potentially lowering risks linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Whole-Body Support
Cloves are “rich in antioxidants,” helping fight cell damage.
They also have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive benefits,
supporting immunity and gut health as part of a balanced diet.
Easy Ways to Use Cloves
Adding cloves is simple. They can be used in teas,
where “boiling water with a couple of cloves creates
an aromatic and health-promoting infusion,” or added to smoothies,
baked goods, and savory dishes.
Moderation Matters
Despite their benefits, “moderation is important.” Excess intake may cause stomach irritation,
and those with medical conditions should consult a professional.
Used wisely, cloves can support brain health and overall well-being.
