Turmeric is one of the first spices that comes to mind when talking about the healing power of spices.
I would like to touch upon the effects of this beneficial, golden-colored spice, which is native to India and is also known as Indian saffron, but has found its place in the cuisine of many countries.
For which diseases is it effective?
It reduces the risk of stomach problems, diabetes and infection problems with its active ingredient 'curcumin'. It helps to lose weight by accelerating metabolism.
While it gives a golden color to the foods it is added to, it is odorless and heat resistant, so its nutritional values are not reduced or lost by cooking.
Studies have shown that it has very significant effects on cholesterol. It has been proven that it increases good cholesterol while lowering bad cholesterol.
One of the most important effects of turmeric, which comes from the ginger family, is that it relieves joint inflammation. The response people get when they just add this spice, even without changing the treatment they receive, explains its miraculous power. Turmeric, which works as a side-effectless anti-inflammatory without a toxic effect, is effective in the treatment of muscle pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome.
It can prevent the development and spread of bad cells against cancer, one of the most common diseases of the age. To be effective, 1 dessert every day. It is recommended to consume a teaspoon of turmeric. While it is effective in preventing colon cancer, especially when consumed with onions, it will increase protection against prostate cancer when consumed with sulfur vegetables (cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, radishes, etc.).
Due to its purifying effect, it is an indispensable spice of detox lists, internally and externally. It has a very strong power to cleanse the body through applications. Turmeric, which stands out with its protection against harmful substances that age the body, is also liver-friendly.
We can also talk about its protective and healing effects on neurological diseases. Studies conducted with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients have shown that turmeric reduces symptoms. In healthy individuals, it reduces the risk of neurological diseases with its protective effect on nerve cells.
Finally, to add this: I would like to say that when turmeric is used together with black pepper, the curcumin in turmeric becomes hundreds of times more effective, thanks to piperine, the active ingredient of black pepper.
