In her new book, “Power Spicing,” author and registered dietician nutritionist Rachel Beller explains the benefits of spices and how they work to help you stay healthy — from your mood to your metabolism.

A blend of spices can also pack medicinal properties that help decrease the risk of illnesses such as heart disease and cancer.

Beller’s 60 simple recipes in her book also offer a unique and innovative approach to spicing for not only holistic foodies, but also to healthy eaters looking to improve their diets without sacrificing flavor.
