How to use turmeric to get rid of joint pain and cholesterol
Turmeric, black pepper and coconut oil will provide us with many health benefits on their own, but these ingredients are even better when combined together, because they increase each other's effectiveness many times, writes bonnylady.
You only need about 10 minutes to prepare a paste from this super-trio, which can be stored for up to two weeks in the fridge.
Another good thing about this mix is that you can add a couple of teaspoons to any of your meals, since it goes with literally every dish.
But before sharing the recipe, we’d like to remind you of the health benefits of the ingredients:
Turmeric is a very popular Asian-Indian spice, which is part of the ginger family. It has many health benefits, mainly due to the active ingredient called curcumin (a substance that gives it a yellow color). Curcumin has the ability to block pathogens associated with inflammation.
Many studies have shown that it is more effective than some strong anti-inflammatory drugs (such as hydrocortisone) without causing any side effects.
Black pepper is used as a spice and seasoning. Many studies have shown that black pepper contributes to weight loss as a result of its ability to burn fat and stimulate metabolism. In addition, it also works as a natural anti-depressant that helps improve mood!
This spice is actually the key to the effectiveness of this paste due to its component, called piperine, which has the ability to increase the absorption of curcumin up to 1000 times.
Coconut oil consists of more than 90% saturated fat, which is rich in medium chain triglycerides (which give it strong antimicrobial properties) and help increase the absorption of turmeric. In addition to this, coconut oil is also an excellent source of protein.
