A cousin of Ginger, Turmeric is a spice that has been used for centuries, particularly in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. “Turmeric contains compounds called curcuminoids, which have been shown to have many health benefits” says Jordan Anthony, MS, RDN and Director of Nutrition at Ahara. “It has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect however turmeric is poorly absorbed in the bloodstream so it’s best to pair it with something called pipeline, which can be found in black pepper. This increases the absorption by 2,000%. Some research has shown it can alleviate or reduce symptoms associated with joint pain” Anthony continues.
How Can You Get Your Daily Dose of Turmeric?

Anthony also shares that “Including turmeric in your diet is easy and tasty. You can add it to spice mixes, marinades, or use it in salad dressings. Golden milk lattes such as Anima Mundi, Golden Moon Milk are another delicious way to incorporate it into your routine”.
