Turmeric - one of nature's most beneficial spices!
As I train for my half-marathon (only 12 more days to go!), and my knees get more achy after every run, and the arches to my feet continue to swell, I look for anything to help. My Podiatrist recommends Aleve, but I turn to Turmeric!
Often found in Indian dishes, smokey in taste and deep orange- yellow in color, it’s one of nature’s most beneficial spices to add to your cupboard… and body. I’m here to tell you today, that you don’t need to wait to eat it at your favorite Indian restaurant. Start sprinkling it onto your food now – your body will thank you!
Why sprinkle your food with turmeric?
– very powerful anti-inflammatory spice
– a natural antibiotic (anti-viral, anti-fungal)
– improves digestion
– helps to relieve pain, swelling and inflammation associated with psoriasis and arthritis.
– may lower cholesterol
– protects liver from toxins (anti-oxidant)
When to use it?
– when you’re feeling a cold come on, mix turmeric with a dab of raw honey and lemon in hot water or spread it onto toaste!
– sprinkle on top of lentil soup
– sprinkle in your tomato sauce and add to (brown rice) pasta
– sprinkle on top of vegetables, rice, eggs, fish, meat…you name it!
Fun tips:
– Eat with pepper for even better absorption!
– be careful- sort of stains your hands!
Available fresh (its a root, a member of the ginger family) or in a jar.
Dr. John Douillard says, “Your meal will become a natural medicine.” So, go ahead- sprinkle some on your dinner tonight!
Be Willing. Be Delicious. Be Well.

be well,
