Benefits of Tumeric

   

 Some years back I used to work in a restaurant and I remember we use turmeric powder as part of the recipe in the preparation of rice. I know also that the only reason we use it as part of the recipe is because of the lovely colour it gives to the food little did we know that the yellow turmeric powder is a very nutritional spice.

Turmeric, is an orange-colored spice imported from India, and part of the ginger family

   I read about the health benefit of this yellow turmeric powder about a year ago and decided to share my knowledge on it.

1)      It’s a natural antiflamatory spice: it helps prevents gas and bloating

2)      Natural antibiotics : Lowers cholesterol

3)      Natural antiseptic : Heals stomach ulcers

5)      Improves digestion

7)      Speeds up wounds healing
