Turmeric’s Potent Healing Powers
Turmeric will boost your body’s anti-inflammatory power and help you lower pain and fever and it comes without any serious side effects as it is often the case with over-the-counter anti-inflammatories.
Moreover, research has discovered that turmeric’s active ingredient, i.e. curcumin, has the capacity to fight off cancerous cells. Studies done with lab mice discovered that curcumin averted or slowed down skin, breast, stomach, liver, colon, and duodenum cancer. Its anti-angiogenic characteristics will decrease the formation of new blood cells in tumors and avert their further growth.
How to Boost Turmeric’s Bioavailability
Though it can do wonders for our overall health and being, turmeric is not readily available for absorption in the body and when we consume it, most of it is quickly metabolized before the body absorbs it.
Luckily for us, we can enhance its bioavailability by mixing it up with some black pepper. It is the piperine in this spice that has the power to briefly slowing down its removal from the blood. Knowing this, it is vital that you start consuming this turmeric golden paste enriched with black pepper.
