The mango smoothie with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and turmeric will surely tickle the fancy of those who like Indian flavours. In addition to the taste and aromatic qualities, the above spices have also many health benefits. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory as well as analgesic, antioxidant and even slimming properties, it also prevents arterial hypertension. Cinnamon exhibits anti-cancer, antiseptic and refreshing properties. It also strengthens the body, but it shouldn't be used in excess. Cardamom has a refreshing effect and is recommended for digestive problems. These are just a few properties of these spices chosen by me.
