Season fish, poultry, vegetables, and even fruit -yes, fruit- liberally with a variety of fresh and dried herbs and spices.  Try an apple sprinkled with cinnamon, a pear with a pinch of ginger, or strawberries with a splash of balsamic vinegar.  Nothing in the plant world can rival the many medicinal properties of spices, from helping to lower and stabilize blood sugar, offering protection from free radical damage, providing anti-inflammatory benefits and helping to speed up the metabolism.
