Benefits of nutmeg


Good morning my MF Products Blog readers, today we’re going to be looking at the benefits of MF Nutmeg. Nutmeg is popularly known as Jatiphal and Jaiphal in India. It’s one of the oldest spices, like pepper and clove and it’s been cultivated for over 1000 years. Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of Myristica fragrans, a tropical tree that is native to the Banda island of Indonesia but also commonly grown in the Caribbean and other tropical areas of the world such as the St John Parish in Jamaica. When it comes to the actual characteristics, the nutmeg seed is oval-shaped, about an inch long, slightly wrinkled, dark brown on the outside and light brown on the inside. For centuries nutmeg has been treasured for its flavour, aroma, and medicinal properties throughout the world.  


In regard to MF Nutmegs taste, it’s something quite extraordinary. It possesses this sweet, spicy yet woody sensation. It’s almost as if Christmas comes early with MF Nutmeg.
Did you know nutmeg has cooling properties? Of course, you didn’t! But it is indeed true. The cooling properties which I am referring to are the ones you experience when you eat mint. In mint the compound responsible for the cooling sensation is I-Menthol. However, menthol has a weak and short-lived effect. Scientists were able to isolate a compound in nutmeg found in the class of chemicals of neolignans. It was found to be 30 times more potent as I-menthol. Therefore, meaning it has greater cooling properties as opposed Ingredients.

 
Research conducted by medical professionals have showed that there are a variety of health benefits associated with nutmeg. Firstly, its antioxidant properties. Nutmeg has been shown to contain a collection of antioxidant compounds. Test tube studies have also shown that nutmeg extract exhibits powerful antioxidant effects against free radicals. The antioxidants prevent the onset and progression of many chronic conditions, such as certain cancers and heart and neurodegenerative diseases. 

The second property of MF Nutmeg is anti-bacterial. Recent studies have been shown that nutmeg has antibacterial effects against potentially harmful strains of bacteria. Harmful strains such as Streptococcus mutans and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. None of these long-winded words mean anything to you however it’s great to just know the terminology, you know? Anyways, studies showed that the extract from nutmeg was very powerful which were scientifically proven to fight against dental cavities and gum disease.


One of the last properties of nutmeg is it’s anti-inflammatory benefits. Research has shown that chronic inflammation is linked to many adverse health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. MF Nutmeg possesses great compounds called monoterpenes, including sabinene, terpineol and pinene. These compounds are very effective in reducing the inflammation In your body. One study injected rats with an inflammation-producing solution and then gave some of them nutmeg oil. Rats that consumed the oil experienced significant reductions in inflammation, inflammation-related pain, and joint swelling.

Does coffee help with headaches?

Good evening everyone, its another blog by MF Products and today we’re going to be looking at something slightly different. Today, the MF Products Team was riddled with headaches and someone asked “I wonder if there’s a drink that could resolve this pain” which got us thinking. Since coffee, especially MF Coffee (which is available to purchase now), has so many benefits maybe there’s a chance it can cure headaches too. Here’s what we found.
