How to properly consume turmeric for its benefits: a doctor reveals surprising secrets (video).

Turmeric is one of the most popular spices among chefs, but experts reveal its other unique health benefits for the body. This is reported by the publication Mirror.

Journalists write that the well-known YouTube blogger and physician Eric Berg from the USA believes that this product should be regarded as a "superfood" that should be included in your diet not only as a spice or pieces of the plant's roots but also in the form of a dietary supplement.

"If you want to take a supplement, it's better to choose one with turmeric rather than just its active ingredient—curcumin. Curcumin contains many phytonutrients found in turmeric. Therefore, it is important to use a freeze-dried supplement," explains Dr. Berg.

The specialist states that if you buy fresh turmeric root, you should "consume two or three of these per day to prevent many issues." He also recommends increasing the intake of black or white pepper, as it enhances the body's ability to absorb turmeric.

Dr. Berg emphasizes that the primary research on turmeric focuses on treating inflammatory processes and various oncological conditions. He points out that many of turmeric's immediate benefits can lead to several other significant effects, and it "almost has no side effects."

In particular, the benefits of turmeric have been noted in the treatment of insulin-dependent conditions, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, arthritis, and digestive disorders. Significant effects from turmeric consumption have also been observed in individuals with high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure.
