  • Benefit 1

    Turmeric can help reduce risk of heart disease

    Turmeric can help reduce risk of heart disease
  • Heart disease is the number one cause of death, across the world.

    So naturally, you need to steer clear of factors that could lead to heart conditions.

    Notably, chronic inflammation is a major reason behind heart disease.

    That is why, taking turmeric regularly can help in significantly reducing risk of this ailment.

    What's more? It can also help improve the lining of blood vessels.

  • Benefit 2

    Turmeric reduces fat cells growth and aids weight loss

    Turmeric reduces fat cells growth and aids weight loss
  • Increased levels of stress could lead to weight gain, because when stress hormones (cortisol) get out of whack, fat starts to accumulate near the stomach area.

    Now, since turmeric can effectively balance your stress hormones, it can help keep extra fat from building up around your waist.

    In fact, several studies have shown that curcumin intake can reduce growth of fat cells.

  • Benefit 3

    It helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels

  • High cholesterol is caused by oxidative stress, brought on by chronic inflammation and high blood sugar.

    Thus, turmeric, by reducing inflammation in the body, can significantly help reduce cholesterol levels.

    One particular study of human volunteers found that taking 500 mg of curcumin daily dropped their total cholesterol by over 11%, while their HDL (good cholesterol) went up by 29% in just a week.

  • Benefits 4,5

    It improves brain function and enhances skin health

  • Brain function: Curcumin in turmeric has the power to boost a protein in the brain called BDNF, high levels of which are linked with better memory and mood, while low levels may increase risk of Alzheimer's and depression.

    Skin health: The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities of turmeric make it a great anti-aging agent. It can reduce risk of many skin conditions like acne etc.
