Turmeric is a golden, aromatic powder. It has become increasingly popular due to its nutritional values and healing properties. Turmeric has been used in the Indian system of holistic medicine, also known as Ayurveda, since ancient times. Turmeric contains the compound curcumin which has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies, including one published in the AAPS Journal, show that curcumin can help fight the inflammation that contributes to a myriad of conditions, such as Crohn’s disease, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, irritable bowel disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, and even cancer.

Turmeric is an all-around health booster. Below are some specific benefits:

1. Reduces inflammation. Turmeric is rich in anti-inflammatory properties which makes it a good addition to any diet. It may help improve diseases that have inflammation at the root cause, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
2. Improves liver function. Turmeric extract and curcumin can protect the liver from injury.¹
3. Reverses signs of aging. Stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise can lead to inflammation. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties can help prevent cells from oxidizing and forming free radicals, which contributes to the aging process.
4. Reduces joint pain. The anti-inflammatory properties can help people suffering from arthritis.
5. Boosts brain function. The curcumin compound has illustrated a regenerative property in brain function.²

Turmeric is easy to incorporate into your current diet. You can add it to many dishes such as roasted vegetables, soups, smoothies, and even scrambled eggs.
