Turmeric Powder - why should we eat it ?



I am big fan of healthy lifestyle. I like to try to eat and drink new things that are natural.

You probably know turmeric as the main spice in curry.It is commonly used in Asian food. It has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders. But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine.
Turmeric contains a wide range of antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal.
It is also loaded with many healthy nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, potassium, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc.

Research shows it has many benefits and may help ward off dementia and reduce your risk of cancer.Turmeric powder as a natural anti-inflammatory agent, can help reduce joint and muscle pain, also helps in the treatment of arthritis.As well as reducing your cholesterol, curcumin can stop the oxidization of cholesterol in your body. This in turn protects blood vessels and the build-up of plaque that cause high blood pressure.

Turmeric powder can be bought  as a tablets or  powder.
Every day I am drinking one glass of warm water with  1/2  teaspoon of Turmeric powder. At the  beginning it was bitter taste but now I have got used to the taste. You can add 1/2 lemon juice or in additional some honey if you don't like bitter turmeric taste. Drink daily preferably in the morning.
