Summary

Let's talk about the health benefits of turmeric. One study found that curcumin was just as effective as ibuprofen at reducing pain from arthritis without side effects! It’s also shown to be as effective as aspirin.


Another study showed that curcumin had comparable results to Prednisone in reducing inflammation for rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and IBS. It has also been shown to produce antidepressant effects similar to Prozac and Zoloft.


Curcumin has anti-diabetic properties and effects similar to Metformin. It also has anticoagulant properties similar to aspirin and Warfarin.


Research has shown that curcumin has benefits similar to statins and can help reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. One study compared curcumin to 5-fluorouracil, a chemotherapy drug.


Turmeric has been shown to be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs, especially for irritable bowel disease and digestive problems. It may also help reduce blood pressure and inhibit pathogens, especially fungi.


To prepare turmeric water, combine ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder, a pinch of black pepper, and half of a lemon in a glass of warm water.


To prepare golden milk, combine ½ teaspoon of turmeric, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper in a cup of milk or coconut milk. Heat the mixture and remove from heat just before it comes to a boil. You can also add turmeric to a smoothie with berries and kefir.


If you have a cough, try drinking a cup of hot water with a teaspoon of turmeric and a tablespoon of raw honey.

You want to drink one cup of turmeric water every single night or morning for amazing benefits.

0:07.4

The active compound in turmeric is called curcumen, and there is some serious research on this one compound that you need to know about

0:16.3

but before you follow any of the advice I'm going to share with you obviously check with your doctor

0:20.1

to get you know an okay especially if you're on medications because you can't always come off certain

0:24.7

medications, you know, cold turkey.

0:26.6

The first thing I want to talk about is N-Seds, like ibuprofen and aspirin.

0:31.0

In one study, curcumen was just as effective as ibuprofen in reducing pain from arthritis, but without the side effects.

0:41.0

Curcumen also showed some similar benefits to aspirin, which is quite amazing because the problem

0:45.8

with aspirin is it can burn a hole in your stomach. Let's get to number two, cortical steroids

0:50.9

like prednisone. I used to take this for poison ivy every single year until

0:56.2

it eventually stopped working. Curcumen in one study showed comparable results to

1:01.8

Prednisone in reducing inflammation for rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and irritable

1:07.6

bowel disease. Number three, Kirkcumen showed anti-depressant effects similar to Prozac and Zoloff in reducing symptoms of

1:16.2

depression. Apparently the theory is that it increases serotonin and dopamine

1:20.8

very similar to the SSRIs.

1:23.0

Number four, curcumen has anti-diabetic properties.

1:26.6

Some studies that shows that curcumen can have similar effects

1:31.1

to metformin in supporting blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes.

1:36.4

As you may or may not know, there's a black warning label on metformin because one of the

1:41.7

dangerous side effects is called

1:43.4

elactic acidosis so just maybe curcumen in turmeric might be a possible

1:48.2

substitute then we get to number five anti coagolence these are the things that thin the blood.
