How to consume turmeric?

• Turmeric can be used in cooking in a variety of dishes for colour and taste.
• The benefits of curcumin are best achieved when it is combined with piperine (black pepper). Piperine increases the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000%. Combine some black pepper with turmeric for better absorption.
• Turmeric in milk also known as ‘Golden Milk’ or ‘HaldiDoodh’ has immense positive effects on the body.
• Curcumin is also fat-soluble. To gain the best results, eat it alongside some olive oil or coconut oil.

Curcumin has received worldwide attention for its multiple health benefits, which appear to act primarily through its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
