LET'S NERD OUT ON TURMERIC FOR A MINUTE

December 19, 2013  /  Maggie Powers

I'm a big fan of vitamins and supplements, particularly those with anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation can be the root of SO many health problems - from the mildly uncomfortable to the critically serious. One of my staple magic pills is Curcumin (which is chiefly responsible for giving turmeric it's bright yellow color). The impressive range of health benefits are listed here. Taking turmeric or curcumin is great, but if they don't absorb, you're not going to get the full perks. Check outthis article for tips on getting the most out of this li'l miracle molecule. Or if you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this recipe from Healthy Holistic Living a try:
