TURMERIC<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Turmeric, the yellow root with a jab and hook that can knock inflammation right out of the body, is powered by curcumin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Curcumin, the chemical compound that gives turmeric its yellow color, packs a POWER punch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anti-inflammatory<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anti-oxidant<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anti-free radical<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

From a boil to a toothache, turmeric has been used for years to treat many conditions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When paired with ginger, turmeric makes beans more easily digestible. When paired with pepper, curcumin\u2019s power is more readily available for the body to use (bioavailability).

In studies its been proven to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Studies continue to be conducted to determine its effectiveness in treating diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In its fresh root form, it can be hard to find depending on what part of the world you live in. In the US, occasionally Whole Foods carries it. I\u2019ve also seen it in Asian supermarkets.<\/p>\n
