Studies are bursting on the scene announcing something that has been known in India and parts of Asia for centuries. Turmeric, a potent bright yellow spice commonly found in curry dishes is one of nature’s strongest anti-inflammatories and antioxidants!

Naturopaths and Herbalists claim it may help treat conditions ranging from cancer to digestive disorders. Containing curcumin and curcuminoids, which prohibit the production of inflammation and swelling causing prostaglandins, Turmeric has been used in India and China to treat inflammation, arthritis, and liver disorders for centuries.
Turmeric is a natural antioxidant, detoxifier, and anti-inflammatory. Researchers suggest ingesting 1 teaspoon a day for maximum benefits. However, Turmeric is best absorbed when mixed with Black Pepper and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A quick and delicious method of mixing these 3 things is to create Turmeric Hummus!
