It’s strange to think that one of the most overlooked healthy ingredients is also one of the most common. We’re talking about mustard—a condiment usually used as sauce in hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, salads and corn dogs. Sometimes, it is mixed in flavorings and spices. Here’s an infographic presented by Wishing U Well. It illustrates the numerous health benefits of mustard.
1. Mustard helps us lose weight.
2. It can slow aging, making us look younger.
3. It relieves muscle and arthritic pain.
4. Mustard is effective in preventing gastrointestinal cancer.
5. It can control asthma.

This infographic begins with a photo of mustard and incorporates a rich yellow color in the palette, which helps reference the condiment later on. Much of the rest of the imagery doesn't directly relate to mustard, though, and the mix of illustrations and photography also makes it easier to lose sight of the main theme. The layout also doesn't easily allow the viewer to move through the design; there are a lot of competing elements that fight for attention, so the eye darts around looking for the best place to land. In all we'd give this a D+.
