Turmerics health benefits are numerous. It has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, strong antioxidant, fights depression, natural heart healer, brain function and memory improver. Also, studies have shown that one of the compounds in turmeric also may help prevent Alzheimers disease.
Health benefits aside, its also one of the prettiest spices around. I always keep a jar on hand to throw into rice dishes, chicken dishes and now my breakfast smoothie.
Turmeric pairs amazingly with citrus, and this smoothie is perfect for when youre running out the door ready to face the day.
