Tumeric - can it help our health?

[bravelady7]

Interesting item on tumeric - I try and add it fresh or powdered to as much as possible - don't forget the black pepper to help it get absorbed.....bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-374...

TURMERIC GOLDEN PASTE. Fom one of our support group members, an easy way to use: ¼ cup turmeric powder or 2 ½ cm knob fresh turmeric, finely chopped; ½ teaspoon ground black pepper; ½ cup filtered water: 2 tsps coconut oil/olive oil; (optional: I cm fresh ginger, finely chopped). Cook all ingredients together in small saucepan on medium heat, stir well until mixture thickens – doesn’t take long. When paste has formed, remove from heat to cool. Keep in fridge and add to smoothies, dishes, whatever you want.
