The doctor talked about the benefits of turmeric

Many seasonings not only add a special flavor to the dish, but also benefit our body. For example, turmeric promotes the proper functioning of the liver and many other organs and systems in the body. About the benefits of turmeric on July 22, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by the therapist, the expert of ANO "Culture of health" Irina Nikulina.

"Turmeric, more precisely, the polyphenol curcumin, which is part of it, has immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antioxidant, analgesic, neuroprotective and even anti-cancer properties. Curcumin has proven effective in the treatment of many diseases, from liver and joint diseases to a number of female reproductive disorders," the therapist noted.

Nikulina gave recommendations on the use of this seasoning.

"It is recommended to combine it with black pepper, the active ingredient of which, piperine, increases the absorption of curcumin by 2 thousand percent by the body. The use of turmeric with high—fat foods contributes to better absorption," the expert advised.

However, according to the doctor, you should not eat turmeric on an empty stomach for people with gastrointestinal (GI) problems, as well as during an exacerbation of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis.
