With its two-millennium long tradition as a natural remedy for a number of health issues, turmeric has long been viewed as the queen of spices in India. At first it was only used as a dye, but centuries later it’s mostly appreciated because of its strong medicinal properties.

A number of studies have confirmed that turmeric is abundant in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and detoxing properties, all of which contribute to its effectiveness in treatment of a wide array of diseases including Alzheimer’s, cancer, and many more.

These 7 ways have been scientifically proven to improve health on many different levels.

1 Reduces the risk of several types of cancer

Turmeric is one of the most powerful natural anti-cancer agents that efficiently inhibits cancer development. In fact, some regard it as the possible future cure for this deadly disease.

2 Improves digestion

Daily consumption of turmeric improves digestive function, relieves bloating and gas, stimulates the gallbladder, and prevents GI inflammation. But, for people who suffer from a gallbladder disease, turmeric intake on daily basis is not recommended as it can overstimulate the gallbladder.

3 Fights inflammation

Chronic inflammation is the cause behind many diseases of today. The active compound in turmeric – curcumin, is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that’s proven more effective than most anti-inflammatory drugs on the market.

4 Protects the brain

According to research, curcumin increases the levels of BDNF – Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, a type of growth hormone whose low levels are often associated with cognitive disorders like dementia and Alzheimer’s. Curcumin can not only delay, but also reverse age-related brain deterioration as well as a number of brain diseases.

5 Protects the heart

The active ingredient in turmeric also lowers LDL or bad cholesterol, prevents blood clotting, and cleans arterial walls of plaque build-up.

6 Alleviates arthritic pain

As mentioned earlier, turmeric is a strong anti-inflammatory agent that many people have found more beneficial for arthritic pain relief than many OTC or prescribed drugs available today. Apart from fighting chronic inflammation, it also relieves the pain, and best of all, it doesn’t have any side-effects.

7 Prevents aging and improves longevity

Premature aging is normally the result of free radicals and inflammation, both of which can be effectively treated with curcumin. Also, if you consider the fact that it improves heart health and fights cancer, 2 of the biggest killers of today, it’s only logical to say that turmeric prolongs life too.

To reap most of its health benefits and enjoy great physical and mental health, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric to your meals including smoothies, juices, soups, curries, stir-fries, dressings, and other every day.

Important: Although the health benefits of curcumin are undeniable, its absorption by the body is quite low. Fortunately, you can increase its absorption by up to 2000% by adding a pinch of black pepper. There are other ways to raise the absorption of curcumin in your body.
