Let’s talk about turmeric, the golden spice that's been around for centuries, and is now (finally) getting the attention it deserves!
If you’ve ever heard the buzz about turmeric being a “super-food”, but frankly you find it kinda hard to keep up with allllllll the things TikTok says you *~ABSOLUTELY MUST~* be adding it to your routine, this is for you.
We’re breaking down why this spice is (actually) a must-have for anyone looking to boost their health naturally, and giving you 3 easy ways to start implementing today.
Why We Should All Be Eating Turmeric Anyways
Let’s face it, turmeric isn’t just the next trending superfood (after kale, but before sea moss). It’s a powerful anti-inflammatory that’s backed by science.
Adding turmeric to your daily routine can help protect your body from the inside out.
Here are three major reasons why turmeric should have a permanent spot in your life:
#1. Alleviates Joint Pain
Curcumin (the active compound in turmeric responsible for most of its health benefits) is shown to reduce joint inflammation and pain, even in people suffering from conditions like arthritis. Chronic inflammation can cause swelling and discomfort in the joints.
Several studies show curcumin to be more effective than over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs (and without the side effects).
#2. Improves Mental Function
Turmeric isn’t just good for your body; it’s great for your brain and mind, too!
Curcumin has been linked to improved cognitive function and a lower risk of diseases of the brain, like Alzheimer’s.
How? It helps reduce inflammation in the brain known to contribute to memory loss and cognitive decline. Plus, curcumin boosts levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein linked to learning and memory.
#3. Anti-Aging Properties
We all want to age gracefully, and turmeric can play a key role in that journey.
The antioxidant properties of curcumin help neutralize free radicals, which cause cellular damage and accelerate the aging process.
By fighting inflammation and oxidative stress, turmeric helps maintain the health and vitality of your skin, organs, and overall well-being, making it an excellent addition to your anti-aging toolkit.
3 Ways for Working Women to Start Using Turmeric Today
1. Grab a Quality Supplement (WARNING: Not All Are Created Equal) 💊
A high-quality supplement is one of the easiest ways to get an adequate amount each day. But here’s the catch—not all turmeric supplements are created equal.
The key is to look for one that contains 1,500mg, domestically sourced, and contains black pepper extract (often listed as piperine) to enhance absorption. Curcumin is notorious for being hard to absorb on its own, and black pepper increases your body’s ability to use it effectively by 2,000%.
Also, check the label for curcumin content (the active compound in turmeric responsible for most of its health benefits). A good turmeric supplement should contain a high percentage of curcumin. If the label simply says "turmeric" without specifying curcumin, you might not be getting the anti-inflammatory punch you're hoping for.
Why you should do this: If you're dealing with chronic inflammation or joint pain, the concentrated dose of curcumin in a supplement can be a game-changer. Plus, it's convenient—no need to figure out how to incorporate turmeric into every meal. Get free shipping on turmeric capsules here.
2. Spice Up Your Smoothies 🥤
Yes, you can absolutely toss a pinch of turmeric into your morning smoothie (¼ tsp)!
It blends perfectly with flavors like mango, pineapple, and ginger for a refreshing (and health-boosting) start to your day. You won’t even notice the earthy taste, and your body will love the anti-inflammatory boost.
3. Golden Milk Latte – Your New Afternoon Pick-Me-Up ☕️
If you’re looking for a coffee alternative, enter: the golden milk latte. This warm, cozy drink is made by mixing turmeric with milk (or a plant-based alternative), a little honey, and a pinch of black pepper.
Not only does this latte help with inflammation, it’s also great for your immune system. Plus, it’s super soothing, making it perfect for winding down in the afternoon.
If you start incorporating these three simple ways to use turmeric, you’re taking an important first step to overcoming inflammation—more energy, less pain, and a healthier you!
