Turmeric. \u00a0<\/strong>This root has been used for centuries by many cultures around the world with its origin roots pointing to India. Its use was first recorded in the Vedic culture where it was used for food and religious purposes. \u00a0Through trades, it made its way to the regions of Southeast Asia, East, and West Africa where ancient cultures also experimented with it for medical and culinary advances. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2018<\/b>– Turmeric has become the latest \u201cfad\u201d in the health world as western society has found itself jumping on the bandwagon that our brothers and sisters across the globe have been riding since the dawn of time. Walk into <\/span>any <\/span><\/i>Indian restaurant and peep their menu. I guarantee turmeric is an ingredient in the majority of their meals. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As with any trending product we\u2019re now seeing all the claiming a plethora of benefits from to include boosting skin health, treating cancer, reducing inflammation, combat depression, and the<\/span> list goes on. <\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds like the next superfood, right? Before we subscribe let’s take a closer look. <\/b>Turmeric is basically the hype man for Curcumin its main active ingredient. \u00a0<\/span>Curcumin\u2019s<\/span><\/a> three-point shot is providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits which are the foundational support for the majority of ailments turmeric is praised for alleviating. (Dive into the rabbit hole- there are over <\/span>10,000 articles<\/span><\/a> on curcumin.) Literally feeling like Alice in the Wonderland I dove into the world of turmeric and found that along with a general regimen of health, turmeric can aid in preventing and even <\/span>reversing<\/span><\/a> medical conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n

But this is not Utopia. While the recorded benefits of turmeric can\u2019t be denied there are some things to be aware <\/b>o<\/strong>f<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taken orally turmeric is poorly absorbed and rapidly metabolized limiting its effects, especially if not used long-term. <\/span>The yang to that yin is turmeric\u00a0basically has no serious negative side effects<\/b> when used in culinary dishes, teas, or supplements. \u00a0(Negative side effects* mainly consisted of stomach discomfort and headaches but that was also when people went OD with it.) <\/span><\/p>\n

So how do we get more of this goodness into our bods? \u00a0By incorporating turmeric into our diets on a consistent basis we reap the benefits. <\/span>Check out the fast and easy ways to improve your intake of this magic remedy. \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

*If you take medication for blood-thinning (such as aspirin) you should steer clear of turmeric. Curcumin magnifies the effects of the medication which again results in too much of a good thin<\/span><\/i>g.<\/span><\/p>\n

DRINK IT<\/b><\/p>\n

Turmeric is available in many teas and drinks. \u00a0Teas are especially great- just throw a few into your bag and when you\u2019re on your daily hustle all you have to do is grab a hot cup of water and you\u2019re good to go. Trader Joe\u2019s is a great first stop for this drinking journey. \u00a0They have an <\/span>organic carrot turmeric juice<\/span><\/a> that\u2019s been a staple in my fridge for about a month. \u00a0The carrot juice gives the turmeric a thickness that makes it surprisingly filling- just FYI the drink is a bit spicy. Good ol\u2019 TJ\u2019s also has a great <\/span>organic ginger turmeric tea<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>as does <\/span><\/i>Tulsi<\/span><\/i><\/a>, in my opinion, this one is a bit stronger.<\/span><\/i>) For optional flavor and turmeric remember to steep both for the proper time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the drink world, I also have fallen in love with \u2018golden milk\u2019 aka an amazing bedtime turmeric drink that contains all the warm cozy feels. (I seriously felt like <\/span>Anton Ego<\/span><\/a> at the end of Ratatouille) Check out an easy 5-minute recipe for golden milk <\/span>here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

EAT IT<\/b><\/p>\n

Turmeric is a great addition to veggies and grains alike. \u00a0Next time you\u2019re cooking up a veggie grain bowl add a teaspoon or so. \u00a0It\u2019s also good on eggs, tofu, in soups, basically anywhere. You can travel to your local grocery store\/ bodega for this spice and seriously sprinkle that shit on everything. \u00a0(Want to engulf yourself in the world of Indian spices? Take an adventure to <\/span>Kalustyan \u2019s on 28th and Lex.) <\/span><\/p>\n

WEAR IT<\/b><\/p>\n

Turmeric helps clear up the face! Likely related to the anti-inflammatory properties a weekly turmeric mask can help bring on the clearer skin and a healthy glow. \u00a0A fan fave is Kiehl\u2019s <\/span>Turmeric and Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Mask or you can make your own using one of these seven <\/span>DIY Turmeric masks.<\/span><\/a>
