How to use turmeric powder
Turmeric powder has long been used as a spice in South Asian cuisine. Turmeric has a host of beneficial properties: it improves digestion and prevents such dangerous neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's disease. And while turmeric is a bit bitter and unpleasant in its raw taste, there are many ways to incorporate this powerful antioxidant into your daily diet.
Method 1
Use of turmeric in various forms
one
Use of turmeric in the form of rhizome. Turmeric in the form in which we know it (and usually we know it as a yellow powder) is obtained from the roots of a long turmeric plant (Curcuma longa). This plant is a close relative of ginger, and you can eat it even raw, although it has a bitter and not very pleasant taste. [one]
It is useful to eat from 1.5 to 3 grams of turmeric root daily.
2
Add turmeric powder to meals and drinks. Turmeric is usually sold in powder form. You can add about 400-600 mg of turmeric to your diet (3 times a day). You can add turmeric to sauces, soups, and even drinks, such as milk or tea. [2]
To make turmeric tea, boil 1 cup of water and dissolve 2 grams of turmeric powder in it. You can also add lemon, honey or ginger to enhance the taste of the tea.
If you do not like tea, you can add one teaspoon of turmeric powder to a glass of milk - this drink will have all the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that turmeric has.
3
Use the infusion of turmeric. Upon receipt of the infusion of turmeric, all the beneficial properties of turmeric root turn into liquid. You can add 2-3 drops of turmeric infusion daily to water, tea, soup or any other liquids you drink.
You can buy turmeric infusion in most stores with health products, as well as in some pharmacies and supermarkets.
four
Make a paste of turmeric. For cuts and burns, it may be useful to apply a paste of turmeric to the affected area — this will probably be one of the best treatments.
Mix water, turmeric powder and ginger powder. Using a sterile spatula or brush, apply the paste to the affected area. You can apply this paste with your hands, but in this case, make sure that your hands are clean. Leave the paste on the affected area for several hours. [3]
For the treatment of minor burns, you can use a paste of turmeric and aloe vera. Just mix in equal proportions of turmeric powder and aloe vera to make a paste. [four]
five
Take turmeric capsules. Turmeric can also be found in capsule form. The dosage may be different, but, as a rule, it is 350 mg. It is recommended to take 1 to 3 capsules per day. With an upset stomach, you can take a higher dose - 3 capsules. Turmeric capsules are usually sold at health stores or pharmacies. [five]
Method 2
When to avoid eating turmeric
one
Watch out for dosage. Although turmeric has many benefits and is beneficial to health, it is not recommended to exceed the dosage, because in too large quantities it can cause an upset stomach. Talk to your doctor about how much turmeric you should take daily.
2
Do not take turmeric for medicinal purposes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is not recommended to use turmeric in capsules or in liquid form. It is not forbidden to eat dishes cooked with turmeric. [6]
3
Do not eat turmeric if you have diabetes. If you have abnormal blood sugar levels, be sure to consult your doctor before you start taking turmeric. Turmeric lowers blood sugar levels, so if you have too low sugar levels, you should not take it for medicinal purposes. [7]
Turmeric can also interact with certain medications, including those used to treat diabetes.
four
Do not use turmeric if you have an increased amount of acid in the stomach. If you are taking medication to control excessive production of gastric juice - for example, Pepcid (Pepcid), Zantac (Zantac) or Prilosek (Prilosec) - then you should not take turmeric, because it can interact with these drugs. [eight]
five
Do not eat turmeric for gallbladder disease. If you have a healthy gallbladder, then turmeric will help regulate the amount of bile it produces. However, if you have any diseases of the gallbladder, then turmeric can negatively affect its performance, which, ultimately, can lead to the formation of stones and obstruction of the bile ducts. [9]
Method 3
Useful properties of turmeric
one
Turmeric helps with indigestion. Turmeric contains a powerful chemical element called curcumin. Studies have shown that curcumin helps with indigestion because it has an effect on the gallbladder. By stimulating the gallbladder to produce more bile, curcumin improves digestion and reduces flatulence. [ten]
2
Turmeric reduces inflammation. Curcumin is also a good anti-inflammatory agent, and therefore turmeric can be useful for a variety of diseases - from arthritis and psoriasis to chronic back and neck pain.
3
Turmeric is useful in treating cuts and wounds. Turmeric has strong antibacterial properties, so it can be useful in treating cuts and wounds, as it helps protect them from infection. [12]
four
Turmeric is often used to prevent heart disease. Cardiovascular diseases often develop as a result of plaque formation in the arteries leading to the heart. Anti-inflammatory substances contained in turmeric, also improve blood circulation, and at the same time prevent the formation of plaques on the walls of arteries. [13]
Using turmeric to improve blood circulation also helps reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
five
Turmeric can be a means of preventing cancer. Although research has so far clearly not shown that turmeric prevents the development of cancer, preliminary results suggest that turmeric can slow the growth of cancer cells in the intestines, prostates, and lungs. [14]
The population of India has the lowest rates of cancer of the above organs (for example, these figures are 13 times lower than in the United States). Many researchers believe that this may be due to the use of spices such as turmeric, which is often found in Indian curries and other dishes.
Turmeric has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that, generally speaking, are considered useful in cancer prevention. Inflammation is one of the factors contributing to the development of a cancer. [15]
Do not try to treat cancer only with natural vitamins and herbs. If you have cancer, you need to contact an oncologist and undergo a course of treatment prescribed for them.
Tips
Many doctors compare the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of turmeric with the properties of non-prescription nonsteroid painkillers. The only difference is that turmeric has far fewer risks and side effects than the above drugs.
Do not confuse curcumin in turmeric with cumin (cumin), which is a spice. These are completely different plants, and cumin does not possess the properties that turmeric has.
