The principal ingredient in mild yellow prepared mustard and in some exotic curries, turmeric has excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric may have a specific preventive effect against Alzheimer's disease, as the population of rural India has one of the lowest rates of this disease in the world; daily consumption of turmeric may be a factor. Turmeric may reduce the risk of cancer, as well. In Okinawa, Japan, turmeric tea is a popular drink, and may be linked to Okinawans’ status as the world’s longest-lived people, with an average lifespan of 81.2 years.

While you can certainly add powdered, dried turmeric to your meals, whole, grated root may be even better. Try the Anti-Inflammatory Golden Milk recipe, which features freshly grated turmeric!
