7 Proven Ways Turmeric Can Improve Your Health

Turmeric Really Can Improve Your Health

I have been using turmeric for many, many years to fight inflammation.  I came across the powerful anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric when I was looking for help with my Achilles tendonitis pain.

I just knew that I did not want to exist on over-the-counter drugs for pain relief, because I knew how damaging they would be to the body over time.

I knew that there had to be something natural out there for pain relief, and that is when I came across the thousands of years history of turmeric and uses for healing the body.

In India, turmeric has been used and crowned the “Queen of all Spices” for over 2500 years. Although it was first used as a dye, over the centuries, its true healing powers slowly came to light. Read more at blogs.naturalnews.com

How Can You Add Turmeric To Your Diet?

An easy way to add turmeric to your daily diet is to include dried turmeric powder in recipes that you already made.  For example, you can add a teaspoon to your salad dressings.

Another way to add turmeric to your daily diet is to put turmeric in your scrambled eggs!  It’s a super yummy way to add it in.  This way you can also use some salt and pepper, and pepper is known to increase the benefits of turmeric by 100 times!

Another super way that I personally like to add turmeric to my diet is through juicing.  What you do is go buy some turmeric root at the your organic grocer.  I buy mine at Whole Foods.

I add a piece of the turmeric root about the size of my thumb to my juicer along with carrots and apples.   It gives the juice such an amazing taste!  And I seriously mean this stuff works.  If I have a headache or any aches and pains, I make this juice, and in about 20 minutes (similar to the time it takes for Ibuprofen to work) my pain is gone.

Turmeric root will last a pretty long time in the fridge so if you are going to buy the root, buy plenty of it so you will have it on hand.

Enjoy this powerful, wonderful, ancient root and share it with a friend!

To your health!
