Oregano, a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, is renowned for its robust flavor and impressive health benefits. It contains a variety of compounds, including carvacrol and thymol, which have been shown to have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. These compounds can help protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of infections, both of which are important for maintaining health and longevity. Oregano has also been studied for its potential to support immune function, making it a valuable herb for promoting overall well-being. By adding oregano to your dishes, you can enjoy its delicious taste while supporting your body's fight against cellular aging.
