Dr Weil is an expert on world spices and Dr Oz asked Andrew Weil to help us understand why these spices are so valuable, and why anti inflammatory foods are so important for us.

Dr Weil says there is growing medical evidence that most of the chronic degenerative diseases are the things that get us after the age of 60. Cancer, Heart Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, all these begin as inflammatory processing in the body. So it is very important to contain inappropriate inflammation in the body and diet is one of the most powerful influences on that.
