So chances are you’ve heard about how turmeric is a powerhouse for anti-inflammatory properties, but today i wanted to share with you all the benefits that turmeric provides in a healthy lifestyle and why you should be including it in your diet asap.

if you’ve never had turmeric it’s actually a spice it has kind of a golden y yellow color to it you can have it dried you can also have it fresh and it has this kind of mild distinct fragrance to it and adds a nice depth and like earthiness to foods ,it kind of has a feel of ginger mixed with a little bit of like pepperine the active ingredient in turmeric is called curcumin .
And that is what actually has all the anti-inflammatory properties ,curcumi just makes up a percentage of the turmeric and in one teaspoon of ground turmeric there’s about 200 milligrams of curcumin, the issue is really that curcumin, only takes up about three percent of the total content of turmeric and there haven’t been a whole lot of studies on appropriate dosages and so there’s no real good guidelines from the fda on exactly how much you should have on a daily basis but that doesn’t mean that having it in your diet isn’t helpful in fact it’s also very beneficial.
