Did you know that the spice Turmeric can seriously improve your health?
You may like to have a look at this interesting webpage about the health benefits of Turmeric.
-- If you browse the internet using your favourite search engine you
will find a multitude of further articles about this ancient spice that
retains a worthy place in our modern world and especially in meals like
curries. You will find that it has a role to play in cancer prevention,
in reducing inflammation and chronic pain, in treating bowel problems
and many more. It doesn't have bad side-effects like painkillers and
other pharmaceutical drugs do, and that's a huge advantage. But
it does have one disadvantage, and that is that it can stain. Indeed, it
was first used as a dye. - Now me, I'm really good at spilling stuff,
especially now that my hands have been so damaged by the effects of
steroid meds, etc. So although I used to add turmeric powder to my meals
I got fed up of sometimes getting turmeric stains on my clothes and I
stopped using it in cooking. I now buy it in capsule form and I simply
swallow a couple of the capsules a day with a meal and a good drink of
water. - But there can't be too many people as clumsy as I am, so I'm
sure most of you would want to use it in the time-honoured way of simply
adding it to your curry/soup/stew or whatever.
