Turmeric (Curcuma) Health benefits..

Post by cyprusmax47 »

Recently a member was posting where to buy Turmeric, not packed in Cyprus... a lot of answers but nobody actually mentioned the health benefits of it.
Turmeric contains the chemical curcumin. Curcumin and other chemicals in turmeric might decrease swelling (inflammation). Because of this, turmeric might be beneficial for treating conditions that involve inflammation, but many many more... You can easily google and find out yourself. As I like cooking and prepare a hot chicken curry at least once a month I am feeling always very well the next day, knowing that in the curry powder is mainly turmeric. Important for the highest benefit of curcuma (in Greek: yellow root) is that you should not forget to mix it with olive oil and black pepper which can increase the effect a thousand times.
