Top Reasons Why You Should Use Turmeric and the Benefits That Come with It

April 3, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

One of the most common reasons why many people get sick and easily exhausted is because of stress that harms the body. To prevent stress from eating up your body and weakening the immune system you can take herbs and supplements that can be very beneficial to your overall health.

For the past few years, turmeric, a natural spice that originated from India, has become increasingly popular because of its numerous health benefits and healing properties. However, many people take this turmeric spice for granted because not everyone is aware of what it can do to our body. So here are some valid points as to why you should include a serving or two of turmeric in your diet.

Control blood sugar

If you have high blood sugar or have been diagnosed as diabetic, it is normal that your doctor will advise you to watch your diet and take maintenance medicines to help manage your condition and prevent complications. However, insulin and anti-diabetic medications are quite expensive; that is why many patients are unable to take them religiously.

According to experts, taking turmeric regularly may lead to significant changes in your blood sugar. However, you may experience episodes of hypoglycaemia if turmeric is taken with maintenance medicines, which is why you should monitor your sugar levels when taking this spice.

Boosts your immune system

If you feel that you are about to come down with a cold or flu, then there is a big chance that you have acquired a bacterial infection. Being sick with the common cold means that you have to miss a few days of work because it is highly contagious. Studies say that taking a few cups of turmeric for coldscan lessen the symptoms and speed up the healing process of the body.

It is good for the heart

Taking turmeric every day has proven to help lower bad cholesterol levels, thus resulting in the prevention of deadly heart attacks and strokes. The anti-inflammatory properties found in turmeric help prevent blood vessels and arteries from getting clogged, therefore increasing the supply of oxygen to the brain.

It is effective in whitening your teeth

Yellow or stained teeth can affect your confidence and million-dollar smile. If you have tried different teeth whitening methods and nothing seems to work, then you should give turmeric spice a try. Create a mixture of olive oil and turmeric powder until it forms a paste. Brush your teeth for three minutes and rinse thoroughly. Do this at least twice or three times a week until you see visible results in one month. This method has no side effects and also is very affordable.

Alternative to painkillers

Is your headache or tummy constantly bothering you? Instead of taking generic over the counter painkillers, why not try using turmeric? This Indian spice is known as a natural painkiller and acts without damaging your liver and kidneys in the long run.

To be on the safe side should you decide to try taking turmeric supplements, it is best to get approval from your doctor.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
