There's probably a bag of this spice in your kitchen cupboard that could replace half of your medicine cabinet.
Scientists have proven that daily consumption of a pinch of this spice reduces the risk of heart attack by 30%, cleanses blood vessels and even normalizes blood pressure.
But doctors are silent about it, because pharmaceutical companies lose millions. The recipe is simple: add it to coffee, soups or smoothies.
It also fights inflammation and strengthens the immune system. Check your shelf - perhaps the miracle cure is already gathering dust next to the salt.
We are talking about turmeric. Its active component, curcumin, is a powerful antioxidant that prevents blood clots and reduces the level of “bad” cholesterol.
But to be absorbed, turmeric needs to be combined with black pepper and fats. For example, make "golden milk": mix a teaspoon of turmeric, a pinch of pepper and a glass of warm milk (plant milk is possible).
Drink before bed - it will not only protect your heart, but also improve your sleep.
How else to use turmeric? Add it to omelettes, rice or even smoothies. For example, mix banana, spinach, ginger and half a spoon of turmeric - such a cocktail will relieve inflammation in the joints.
Or make a paste for wounds: turmeric, honey and water. Apply to the cut - it will heal twice as fast.
Why don't doctors talk about this? Because turmeric is not patented, and pharmacists can't make money on it.
But studies show that patients taking curcumin have fewer recurrent heart attacks. Of course, this does not replace medication, but as a supplement, it is ideal.
Important: Turmeric thins the blood. If you take aspirin, consult your doctor.
And don't exceed the dose - 1-2 teaspoons a day is enough.
