To promote health this week I am adding Turmeric. Turmeric is typically thought of as a spice used in Indian cooking. Surprisingly, though, it also is a key component in all-American mustard.
Turmeric:
- Prevents Alzheimer's disease.
- Promotes memory.
- Serves as an anti-inflammatory.
- Relieves arthritis.
- Inhibits Cancer Cell Growth and Metastases.
- Improves liver function.
- Lowers cholesterol.
If you don't eat a lot of Turmeric filled Indian food, another option is to consume it as a tea. This is exactly how Okinawans (the people with the world's longest life span) consume it. While I am not looking forward to adding another tea on top of my daily 3-5 cups of
green tea, Turmeric is worth it.
