Overview

Turmeric is native to South Asia and commonly revered over there for its medicinal properties. The powder is extracted from the roots of a flowering plant, belonging to the same family as ginger. It is commonly added as a spice to curries, giving them that golden yellow colour. Below are ten benefits to turmeric, the golden spice.

1. Anti-Inflammatory

Inflammation is a vitally important mechanism the body uses to fight off infections and repairing wounds. Acute inflammatory spikes are healthy; however, low-level chronic inflammation is harmful to the body and is widely considered a leading cause of all other chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer. Therefore it is essential to include foods in your diet which have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, and turmeric is one of the best possible options out there. Its anti-inflammation is so powerful that it rivals many over the counter drugs used to treat inflammation, and it does so by attacking the problem at a molecular level (the root cause or source).

2. Heart Health

Turmeric can improve the function of endothelium in the lining of the blood vessels, which is used to manage blood levels and deal with blood clots.

3. Brain Health

Turmeric can increase the potency of growth hormones known as brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), which helps allow neurons to stay healthy to forge new connections and multiply themselves.

4. Cancer Prevention 

Tumeric can aid in preventing cancer at the molecular level by healing lesions or wounds in the body before they become cancerous. It can also reduce the spread of tumorous cells by neutering them before they can divide and spread.

5. Joint Mobility

Thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, it can act as a pain relief even for people who have arthritis, and can improve mobility for sufferers.

6. Anti-Aging

Turmeric can slow down degenerative conditions such as cancer and related brain disorders, like Alzheimer’s, and therefore it is said that turmeric makes a useful anti-ageing substance.

7. Digestive Health

Due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric, it makes an effective remedy for stomach pains and regulating digestive health.

8. Diabetes Prevention

The antioxidant properties of turmeric are so powerful that they can help prevent the liver from becoming damaged by toxins. They also assist in regulating blood sugar levels, which all helps in the prevention of diabetes.

9. Anti-Depression

Due to the brain-boosting neurological benefits turmeric has by increasing BDNF levels, it is said that the spice is an effective anti-depressant.

10. Skin Health

Turmeric can be an effective treatment for a myriad of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. 

Conclusion

I include turmeric into my evening curry, as it is a simple, yet effective method of incorporating this wondrous golden spice into my diet. There are other ways of adding turmeric into a meal, such as in soups or sprinkling a small amount onto salads, eggs, or toast. If you are not taking advantage of the variety of health-boosting effects turmeric has to offer, then you are missing out! Add the spice into the mix, and your health will soar.
