]]> We’ve all seen turmeric in the kitchen, that bright yellow spice that seems mysterious and yet vaguely familiar. The reason it seems familiar is because you’ve probably tasted it quite often on a variety of different foods. The reason it’s mysterious is because you probably can’t figure out which ones. Here’s what you need to know about turmeric, and why it’s actually incredibly healthy.

One of a Kind

Turmeric actually comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, and it traditionally stems from South Asia. Within it is a powerful compound known as curcumin, which is the very compound responsible for many of its health benefits. Speaking of those health benefits, let’s discuss what they are.

A Wide Range

There are so many different ways that turmeric can do your body favors. Let’s start with the fact that it promotes brain health and lowers the risk of brain disease. Add to that the fact that it also contains a bevy of anti-inflammatory properties, and you’ve got yourself a winner.

If all that’s not enough, turmeric is a powerful antioxidant as well that can protect your cells from damage. It can also provide pain relief in certain spots, and has been used in traditional medicine throughout history.

Turmeric is a yellow root that is dried and ground to be turned into a spice, as well as a key component to most curry powders. Using the fresh or dried form of this herb is great for keeping warm because it promotes blood circulation, thus keeping you warmer.

Ginger Tea

Just as turmeric allows for your blood to flow more freely throughout your body, ginger does the same thing. In a tea form, it is even more powerful because the hot water will keep your body hydrated and warm. You can find ginger tea in tea bags or simply use an inch of fresh ginger cut up and put into hot water.

Hot Peppers

Fresh peppers or a dried spice like chili or cayenne is great for keeping warm. The spiciness actually can make your body so warm that people sometimes sweat when they eat too much!

Le spezie sono delle alleate non soltanto in cucina ma nella vita di tutti i giorni. Alcune spezie, più di altre, sono ricche di proprietà benefiche in grado di rafforzare il nostro sistema immunitario e di regolare i livelli del colesterolo e degli zuccheri nel sangue. Vediamo le nostre preferite: ✅Curcuma_ rafforza il sistema immunitario. Ha proprietà antinfiammatorie, antidolorifiche e antiossidanti. ✅Zenzero_favorisce la digestione ed aiuta l'organismo a depurarsi. Perfetto per la preparazione di tisane da assumere per la cura e la prevenzione di mal di gola, raffreddore e influenza. Contribuisce inoltre a ridurre la cellulite, i gonfiori e i ristagni acquosi, entrando di diritto tra le spezie brucia-grassi. ✅Peperoncino_stimola il metabolismo e la digestione. Grazie al suo contenuto in antiossidanti e capsaicina (vasodilatatore), viene usato per migliorare la circolazione. ✅Noce moscata_ è una spezia di solito sottovalutata. È interessante sapere che la noce moscata viene impiegata in omeopatia. Ad esempio, risulta utile in caso di pressione bassa e di reumatismi. Viene inoltre utilizzata per le malattie che colpiscono i bronchi e per i problemi di digestione. ✅Cumino_è una delle principali spezie della salute nell'Ayurveda, la medicina tradizionale indiana. È ricco di ferro ed è adatto alla stagione invernale, per via del suo potere riscaldante. È efficace nella riduzione del colesterolo e dei livelli degli zuccheri nel sangue. ✅Chiodi di garofano_sono ritenuti benefici dalla medicina naturale per alleviare i dolori legati all'artrite. Costituiscono un antibatterico naturale adatto per la preparazione di decotti e per l'impiego come collutorio. ✅Anice stellato_ ha importanti proprietà digestive e antidiarroiche. Dall'anice stellato si estrae l’acido shikimico usato per produrre farmaci antivirali. In virtù delle proprietà secretolitiche di cui l'olio essenziale di anice stellato è dotato, il suo utilizzo può essere utile in caso di infiammazioni delle vie respiratorie, tosse e catarro. #farmaciamuracapoterra #healthylifestyle #healthyfoodshare #spices #instagram #Repost @angela.galafate

Turmeric

This spice is used most often in Indian cooking, but you can put it in anything from health shakes to potatoes. It’s also a perfect natural dye if you want something to turn yellow, such as rice.

Paprika

This Spanish spice is used over everything, including Spanish octopus, but it is also essential for Middle Eastern cooking.

Allspice

Allspice is a really unique warm spice used a lot in Asian cooking. But, it is also essential to Cajun cuisine as well. You can get it pre-ground or in large seeds, both having a lot of flavor.

Cumin

Cumin is used in a lot of Mexican-American cooking, but can also be a great alleviating spice in Indian curries and African stews.
