Turmeric is my go-to spice, especially during these chilly winter months when our immune systems get compromised and we are prone to getting sick. If you only have one spice in your spice drawer, it better be this magical one! Turmeric is an orange colored spice grown in India and other tropical locations. It is considered one of the most potent anti-inflammatory agents available today and is referred to as the Queen of Spices. For Ayurveda and Chinese medicine practitioners, turmeric is the natural remedy for clearing infections and inflammations on both the inside and outside of the body.
According to Dr. Andrew Weil, the father of modern Integrative Medicine
and brain behind the popular True Food Kitchen
restaurants....
“Following an anti-inflammatory diet can help counteract the chronic inflammation that is a root cause of many serious diseases, including those that become more frequent as people age. It is a way of selecting and preparing foods based on science that can help people achieve and maintain optimum health over their lifetime.”
Due to its
anti-inflammatory properties, Turmeric's many benefits include: Cancer
Prevention, Arthritis Reliever, Diabetes Control, Heals
Wounds, Alzheimer's Disease Prevention, Improves
Digestion, Natural Liver Detoxifier, Maintains Ideal Body
Weight, Reduces Cholesterol Level, Boosts Immune System
There are a
few different ways to consume Turmeric:
- Root form: put a chunk in juicer to
compliment your favorite green-juice recipe
- Powder form: sprinkle on food as you are
cooking
(at least one big, heaping tablespoon)
- Liquid form: herbal tincture; use dropper
to add to your tea
- Capsules/Supplement form: take with your
other vitamins to decrease internal inflammation
My favorite Turmeric recipes:
Mango
Berry and Turmeric Smoothie
Thai Curried Noodles with Broccoli and Tofu

& Cheese
(healthy, vegan take on classic mac-n-cheese)
