It reduces ignition, relieves pain, and more.
The health benefits of turmeric are numerous, and nutritionists are all about it. A bright yellow Indian spice, it's a key ingredient in golden lattes (a trend you're likely to see blow up in 2017), a primary component in curry, and the secret behind the golden color of mustards, cheeses, and butter—it's even part of Kraft mac and cheese's new all-natural food coloring.
Sara-Jane Bedvell, R.D., L.D.N., says ITSELF that it has a little bitter and warm aroma which has fine taste in sweet and hot dishes equally. But that aroma not the unique reason to love this fashionable spice — she says that it can also make surprising things for your body. Thus, if you any more don't have it on your support for spices, an inventory on it as soon as possible (You need to find it in the local supermarket). Here everything that you shall know about turmeric sickness benefits.
In a 2014 study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, 367 primary knee osteoarthritis patients were randomly assigned to receive either 1,200 mg of ibuprofen a day or 1,600 mg (less than a teaspoon) of curcumin, the active component of turmeric, every day for four weeks. The study found that by the end of the four weeks, curcumin was just as effective as ibuprofen at relieving knee pain in patients, with fewer adverse gastrointestinal effects.
Leah Kaufman, a registered dietitian in the department of surgery, division of bariatric surgery at NYU Langone Medical Center, tells SELF that curcumin has many anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and inflammation caused by myriad different ailments. For this reason, you might want to consider incorporating more turmeric into your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. She says that some people will even apply it topically to things like bruises and eczema, as those same anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe and heal those conditions.
Some evidence has shown that when consumed daily for a month, the curcumin in turmeric can help to reduce digestive issues. Kaufman says that it can help everything from IBS to colitis, and even bloating. (You can thank those anti-inflammatory properties for that.) What's more, these same anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive properties also enable turmeric to support the liver, the body's natural detox system, says Bedwell. Early research has shown it may help to reduce damage to the liver caused by alcohol and other environmental factors.

It's been shown to work as a pain reliever.

This is likely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

So now that you've been clued into the superpowers of turmeric, here's your final pro tip: To get the most out of its benefits, use it in a recipe that also calls for pepper. Pepper contains a compound called piperine, which promotes the absorption of turmeric into the bloodstream, Lisa Sasson, clinical associate professor of nutrition at NYU Steinhardt, tells SELF. In fact, classically prepared golden lattes actually contain black pepper. Together the two spices create an alluring spicy flavor profile that you're bound to become obsessed with, which is great whether you're trying to reap the anti-inflammatory benefits or not.
Try using it in soups, stews, curries, or anything you think it might taste great in. Or keep an eye out for golden lattes at your local coffee shop. Not sure where to start?
