HOW TO eat turmeric

Turmeric is the yellow powder found in curry powder.  It contains curcumin, a substance which gives turmeric its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.  Besides that, it also has cardiovascular benefits and lowers cancer risk.

In order for our body to properly absorb curcumin into the bloodstream, turmeric has to be consumed with black pepper and some form of fats.  Black pepper contains piperine, a substance which enhances the absorption of curcumin.  Since, cucumin is also fat soluble, turmeric has to be consumed with healthy fats, eg nuts and seeds, avocado or coconut oil.

Turmeric is generally safe to consume but do so in moderation.  However, if one is on medication, it is best to consult a doctor before using this spice.
