Turmeric has an organic chemical compound called 'curcumin'. This substance has several medical properties if turmeric was taken internally. These medical properties are as follows:
- Turmeric will prevent tumor cells from growing in your body.
- It is a cancer fighter for several types of cancer.
- It is good for arthritis pains.
- It aids digestion.
- It is good for your bones.
- It prevents infections.
- It gets rid of bad cholesterol.
- It increases blood circulation.
- It reduces pain and inflammation.
- If black pepper is mixed half and half with turmeric it will double the medical properties of curcumin.
- Turmeric protects and strengthens the liver.
- Turmeric improves the function of the brain.
- Turmeric in your body will weaken radiation treatments that is given for cancer.
- Turmeric can cause contractions in pregnant women.
- Do not mix aspirin and turmeric together. It could damage your liver. But by itself turmeric is good for the liver.
- You should not take turmeric if you have a bad gallbladder.
- Turmeric is not good for diabetics because it causes low blood sugar.
- Again I repeat. Turmeric is not good for pregnant women.
I will add one fourth of a teaspoon to my juices, molasses milk, hot cocoa, hot oatmeal cereal, pancake batter and a large pot of mashed potatoes. These last two the turmeric will give them a golden yellow buttery look to them. Remember use only a little bit of turmeric. Too much will give your food a turmeric taste. As far as other foods and turmeric just use your imagination and have lots of fun in the kitchen.
