Benefits of turmeric

There are various ways to incorporate turmeric into meals. You can enjoy organic turmeric root directly or opt for it in supplement form.

According to the doctor, curcumin is just one of the many phytonutrients found in turmeric.

Dr. Berg suggests that if you choose organic and buy fresh turmeric root, you should consume two or three pieces a day to prevent many problems. He also recommends increasing the intake of black or white pepper as it enhances the body's ability to absorb turmeric.

Keep in mind that turmeric's phytonutrients are heat-sensitive, so cooking with turmeric may reduce their effectiveness.

Potential health benefits of turmeric:

• Boosts glutathione levels
• Exerts powerful effects on the brain and nervous system
• Supports cardiovascular health
• Acts as an antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral agent
• Shows significant benefits for skin issues
• Helps protect the liver
• Supports the intestinal lining
• Protects DNA
• Shields cells during chemotherapy or radiation therapy and may enhance treatment effectiveness
• Supports the endocrine system.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant in the body, offering numerous benefits such as disease protection, slowing cancer progression, and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Recent studies show that turmeric may elevate glutathione levels in the body, aiding in the treatment of fatty liver disease through its antioxidant and detoxifying properties. Additionally, other research suggests that turmeric can help alleviate pain.

Turmeric is also known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can promote healthy digestion.

It is believed that turmeric offers additional benefits such as reducing cholesterol levels and blood pressure, likely due to its impact on blood circulation.

Potential risks

If you choose to take curcumin in supplement form, it's recommended to take one capsule daily, preferably with meals, and not exceed the recommended dose. Remember that supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

While turmeric provides numerous health benefits, it is important to note that it is not a miracle cure. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications, or under medical supervision, it is advisable to consult your doctor before using turmeric.

Additionally, those taking blood-thinning medications should avoid high doses of turmeric.
