You already know spices can add more flavor to your food, but 
did you know they can also improve your health and possibly 
help you live longer? It’s time to pull down those bottles 
collecting dust on your spice rack and put them to proper use. In 
Spice Up, Live Long: A Guide To Using Herbs And Spices To Live A 
Longer, Healthier And More Vibrant Life, you’ll learn exactly how 
to do that… and why these superfoods just might help you guard

with the anti-inflammatory diet recommended in the book, adding more spice to your life and plate can improve 
your overall health.
This book breaks down the research in easy-to-understand terms, while giving greater insight into the world of 
herbs and spices. You’ll discover:
• Food, spices, and longevity 
• Spices around the world and where people live the longest
• Age accelerators & what to avoid
• Spices and the conditions/diseases of aging
• How to use spices every day
• 80+ spice-rich recipes by Chef Aaron Robbins, Executive Chef of Soho House, West Hollywood
