Turmeric: Natures Most Powerful Anti-Inflammatory and Superfood

You are here: Home / Health / Cancer / Turmeric: Natures Most Powerful Anti-Inflammatory and Superfood

Last updated on November 9, 2020 By //  by Astrid 7 Comments

I am sure at this point you have heard of Turmeric and its endless healing benefits.  Not only is Turmeric a superfood, but it is also one if not– the most potent Anti-inflammatory food that nature has to offer.

How do I know that?
Well, since I am fascinated with this spice which Indians have been using for centuries– I went on to do a little research to share with you.

Here is what I found:

Turmeric is an excellent source of both iron and manganese. It is also a good source of vitamin B6, dietary fiber, and potassium. Best of it all is that Turmeric has a whopping 1523 inflammation factor.  (source)

Let’s learn some more about this amazing super spice and what it can do for you.

What is Turmeric and Why Is it Considered a Superfood?

Turmeric is a rhizomatously herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is native to tropical South Asia who has used it for centuries. It is a very powerful antioxidant that aids in clearing infections.

It is one of the best anti-inflammatory foods to prevent and reverse cardiovascular disease, balance cholesterol levels, treat serious states of depression — and even helps reverse the course of Type II Diabetes in pre-diabetic patients as a recent study conducted a the University of Ta.

Not convinced? In this article by the World Healthiest Foods the author describes in detail the unending benefits of this amazing spice. Here they are:

  • Curcumin is a triple-negative breast cancer killer
  • Turmeric Produces remarkable recovery in Alzheimer’s patients
  • Curcumin Crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier, May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Lowers cholesterol and protect the cardiovascular system
  • Improves Liver Function
  • Reduce Risk of Childhood Leukemia
  • Inhibits Cancer Cell Growth and Metastases

I use this lovely spice in many of the meals I cook at the very end of the cooking process. That way I don’t destroy the benefits by cooking it too much. Also, one of my all-time favorites is my redeveloped Ancient Golden Paste. 

I also add it to my smoothies and even soups.    We prefer the raw version sold at whole foods (root) but when it isn’t available we get the powder organic turmeric.    I have actually used it in some of my meals/recipes here.

Have you ever used Turmeric? I’d love to hear how you use it and how have you benefited from it.

    What an interesting post! I have read several things about Turmeric but never knew about its anti-inflammatory factor that is a lot.
    I am buying some more to keep the stockpile intact. This is a must have at home.

    Thanks healYOUnat for sharing good stuff. Bookmarked!

A site with a treasure trove of useful wellness information!

In recent years I have become aware of the misinformation about foods and medicines we have been taught for most of my life. I already feel the difference it makes to eat well. I enjoy food more now that it is home-cooked and flavorful with great spices and good fats.

My menopausal brain fog has cleared and the aches in my joints have been tremendously reduced. Our intestinal health has made a remarkable recovery. I also notice as a side benefit that our weight is stabilizing without extra effort.

I was skeptical at first, but figured I had nothing to lose.   After doing my homework I found this site and purchased the Diabetes report.  I never looked back. I changed my life style, followed the advise from the report and today I am off of insulin shots, lost some weight, and continue improving. Thank you so much for showing us that there is ways around medication.
