<\/p>\nCold Weather with Olive & Chilli- This will Really Warm you up!<\/p>\n
Chillies can be put with olive oil and liquidized and stored in the fridge for easy additions to all kinds of dishes, spread on bread etc and they make an instant warming addition.<\/p>\n
Cayenne & Chilli
\nIn Mexico, cayenne or chilli is so popular they put it in ice cream and chocolate, but more generally it is added to savoury dishes. The degree of \u2018hotness\u2019 is usually down to the species used from \u2018paprika\u2019 (Hungarian pepper) which is the mildest (Bell peppers commonly found in the supermarket being the mildest of all and used as a vegetable) to cayenne pepper (Capsicum annum) to the very hot ones like \u2018African birdseye\u2019 (Capsicum frutescens) and the very hottest \u2018scotch bonnet\u2019 and \u2018habanero\u2019 (Capsicum Chinese).<\/p>\n
So if great heat is unpalatable or irritating then cayenne pepper or paprika will be gentler choices as opposed to the hotter chillies.<\/p>\n
Olive Leaf & Olive Oil are both Therapeutic for Circulation
\nAnd perhaps surprisingly olive leaves are also helpful in cold weather as they will help keep a healthy blood flow to our extremities. The European Journal of Nutrition reports that research on olive leaf extract may help reduce cardiovascular risk factors and this is partly due to its antioxidant properties helping to prevent the formulation of clots (by aiding the \u2018normalisation\u2019 of platelet agitation). So olive leaves can play their part during winter and are good potentially combined with \u2018heating\u2019 herbs.<\/p>\n
