2) Turmeric was considered GOLD in biblical times!
That’s right, many historians believe that the gold the Three Wise Men brought to the baby Jesus was actually turmeric! In many ancient texts, people refer to it as gold, even though they’re actually talking about turmeric.
3) Turmeric has POSITIVE side effects!
While many anti-inflammatory drugs are effective, they also take a heavy toll on your overall health. I’m sure you’ve experienced the negative side effects of medications before, and they’re no fun! Especially when those medications are meant to make you feel BETTER.
Turmeric, on the other hand, is filled with beneficial side effects for almost every organ in your body! When taken in extremely high doses, it can cause diarrhea and mild nausea, but with normal daily use, it’s safe and free of side effects (as with anything new, though, consult your healthcare professional).
4) Turmeric is EASY to incorporate into your diet.
You don’t have to work hard to incorporate this delicious spice into your diet. You can take it in capsule form, use the powder in smoothies, add turmeric root to your juices, add it to all kinds of dishes, use it to brush your teeth, and more. Just browse our website to find turmeric recipes!
