Turmeric is a spice commonly used in Indian cuisine with amazing properties. You can find it whole or in powder form (though the powders usually have added coloring), and incorporating it into your diet not only has numerous health benefits but also a very interesting property: it inhibits fat absorption. Our friends at ActitudFEM share these facts with us. In studies conducted with mice, those that consumed turmeric gained less weight than others on similar diets. Turmeric increases bile flow to the stomach, which helps break down fat. It also controls blood sugar levels. Additionally, it lowers blood cholesterol, has anti-inflammatory properties, boosts your immune system, and helps detoxify the liver. Nowadays, there are studies exploring the possibility that consuming turmeric may help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's.

How to Take It?

The best thing you can do is buy it whole and grate it at home. Boil one tablespoon of turmeric in 4 cups of water for 10 minutes to create a tea and drink it before each meal (or at least when you know you will eat a lot). You can add honey to sweeten it. Try it to give your diet a boost!
