The Spice Train Arrived Just In Time To Boost My Immunity This Winter
The winter season (a.k.a., cold and flu season) is here, and that can only mean one thing: the inevitable winter sniffles. Nearly every year, my whole family will catch a cold at the start of the season, and we’ll all feel down for a whole week. But this year, I’m not allowing that to happen: I’ve changed what we eat and drink to boost our immune systems. Of course, with a family full of varying tastes, that was initially easier said than done. But there were so many little changes I could make every day to introduce health-boosting ingredients into our diets – and avoid that dreaded winter illness.
My mind went straight to spices. Everyone in my family loves spices! We use them in cooking, of course, and we also add them to smoothies, tea, and even our meals. But I also felt like the spices in the grocery store were mediocre at best, products with questionable origins and unnatural flavors. I needed high-quality, trustworthy spices that truly provided benefits beyond just flavor, so when my yoga instructor Jen suggested I try Vahdam’s Spice Train line, I was all ears. Jen is among the healthiest people I know – hello, yoga – so if she loved Vahdam, I knew it was the real deal.
And boy was she on the money. The Vahdam Spice Train line comprises 100% organic turmeric, ashwagandha, cardamom, and plenty more, all sourced directly from Indian farmers and highly trusted processing partners. You couldn’t get better spices unless you literally flew to India and picked the crops yourself! Plus, Vahdam is carbon-neutral and plastic-neutral, so I’m not hurting the planet to get my family the spices we need. I also love that Vahdam donates 1% of its net sales to education, community health, and other social initiatives.
Each one of the nine Spice Train blends is as delicious as it is nutritious, and each one offers its own unique ways of boosting my immune system. My personal favorite, though, is the Spice Train Organic Amla Powder. It’s packed with nutrients that can support a healthy brain, eyes, and skin, not to mention the whole immune system! Plus, a quarter-teaspoon in my morning coffee gives it a flavor boost I never knew I needed.
When I bought my first Spice Train bag, it arrived at my house just two days later. I immediately made myself a delicious amla coffee, and it was everything Vahdam promised – fresh, sweet, and healthy! I know what you’re thinking: There’s no way my kids are eating a spoonful of sand. That’s not what’s happening – I can add the amla powder to all kinds of foods and drinks! I make a delicious tea with it, which the whole family loves, kids included. But the kids especially love when I add our Spice Train blends to banana peanut butter smoothies, chicken soup, or even baked goods (yes, that’s a thing!).
Thanks to Vahdam’s Spice Train line, my family and I are feeling healthy and energized while the people around us all catch the sniffles. If you too are on the hunt for immune-boosting foods and drinks, buy a Spice Train blend now! A healthier you is just a drink – or a snack – away.
