Tulia Tips: Turmeric!

Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its color. It has been shown to be more effective than certain drugs in fighting inflammation. Ibuprofen for arthritis and atorvastatin for cholesterol are no match for turmeric. This spice--most effective with black pepper--is a good antioxidant, can reduce cancer lesions in colorectal cancer and may even help to stave off dementia. If you use turmeric (I cook with it all the time) you want to make sure it has curcumin, BioPerine and black pepper. It'll change your life.
