5 health benefits of turmeric according to researchers

Some new research confirms the many health benefits of turmeric, mainly due to its active ingredient, curcumin.

Turmeric contains bioactive compounds (mainly curcumin) that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potentially anti-carcinogenic actions.

Studies show that these features can help with:

-Strengthening the immune system

-Supporting heart health

-Reducing inflammation in the throat and body

-Improving digestion

-Protection of cells from oxidative stress

There is also evidence that turmeric may support neuroprotective brain functions and contribute to overall digestive health.

Research shows that the absorption of turmeric by the body is relatively low and to increase its absorption it is recommended to consume it together with fat or black pepper. /CNA
