The surprising health benefits of pumpkin spice

It’s fall, and for many, that means one thing: pumpkin spice is back. The beloved flavor marks the start of the season for millions of Americans. Every year, Americans spend over $800 million on pumpkin spice products. However, the spice blend also has real health benefits when it’s made from actual spices and not artificial syrups. Pumpkin spice contains cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, spices known for their health-boosting properties and comforting scent. Cinnamon, which comes from tree bark, contains iron, calcium, and magnesium, nutrients that help maintain strong bones and support overall health. Ginger, which has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, helps with digestion and reduces nausea, bloating, and constipation. Nutmeg is made from the seed of the nutmeg tree and adds a warm, nutty flavor to both sweet and savory recipes. Nutmeg also contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help fight cell damage and support long-term health.

Doctors say women over 50 should use caution with these 5 supplements during menopause: DHEA, more

Menopause can bring a host of changes, from hot flashes and sleep problems to shifts in mood, energy and bone health.

From hormone-focused supplements to commonly used vitamins and minerals, here are five that women going through menopause may want to approach with caution and discuss with a healthcare professional before adding to their routine.
