Acute inflammation is necessary and beneficial, but long-term inflammation can lead to chronic diseases ( Antioxidants, found in abundance in cardamom, protect cells from damage and stop inflammation from occurring ( One study found that cardamom extract in doses of 50100 mg per kg (2346 mg per pound) of body weight was effective in inhibiting at least four different inflammatory compounds in rats ( Another study in rats showed that eating cardamom powder decreased liver inflammation induced by eating a diet high in carbs and fat ( Though there are not as many studies on the anti-inflammatory effects of cardamom in humans, research shows that supplements may increase antioxidant status by up to 90% ( Summary The antioxidant compounds in cardamom may help protect cells from damage and slow down and prevent inflammation in your body
