It may sound too good to be true, but adding rosemary to meals can help you feel younger. Brimming with antioxidants, this herb has long been associated with memory improvement, and studies show rosemary stimulates the brain, increasing alertness and focus within 5 minutes. Rosemary is also known for cutting the production of the stress hormone cortisol by 23%, which boosts your mood and lowers your risk of heart disease! To get the benefits, include 1 tsp of the earthy herb in salad dressings, marinades or soups daily.
The quick spritz that THICKENS HAIR
For the more than 50% of women over age 50 who have thinning hair, help is here! One of my favorite ways to combat sparse strands is with rosemary. The herb contains rosmarinic acid, which has been shown to boost circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth as effectively as minoxidil. To get the benefits: Add 4 Tbs. of dried rosemary to 4 cups of boiled water. Steep for 40 minutes, then strain the brew into a large spray bottle and add 4 Tbs. apple cider vinegar; refrigerate. Spritz onto the scalp once or twice a week after shampooing.
