Turmeric health benefits

  • Turmeric root is the source of curcumin, a polyphenol that has been studied to hold a lot of health benefits to humans whether sick or healthy.
  • Curcumin is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Thus making it a spice to include in your diet if you have any kind of inflammation.
  • And aging is still kind of low inflammation, so even for healthy people, adding curcumin in your diet will obviously be beneficial to your health.
