Superfood: Turmeric

If you have not hopped on the turmeric bandwagon, yet, it's not too late! Turmeric, that golden orange colored spice we use in curry sauces and mustard, has many health benefits. 

Turmeric's powerful ingredient curcumin supports cognitive and cardiovascular function, reduces inflammation, and improves muscle and joint health. It also promotes healthy mood balance and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Who wouldn't want to reap those benefits?

Despite curcumin being an incredibly powerful substance, it is not easily absorbed by the body. Studies show that when 1/4 tsp. of black pepper is taken with turmeric, it boosts its bioavailability by 2000%. 

Take your pepper and your turmeric, your body will thank you!
