10.  Super Detox Spice

Turmeric helps to stop inflammation in the liver as well as improve the livers ability to process fats. This can help to stop fatty liver disease. When the liver contains less fat, this means it can work better doing its job removing toxins from the body.

11.  The No-Fat Spice

Perhaps one of the little known secrets about turmeric is that it really is the anti-fat spice, if you will. Turmeric helps the liver break down and use stored fat more efficiently. It especially seems to remove fat from the mid-section of the body, which is great news for dieters and those looking to avoid heart disease.  In one study, women who took three grams of turmeric each day and made no changes to their diets or exercise program lost more weight and lowered their BMIs more than women who were on a diet and exercise program but did not consume turmeric.

 

12.  Immune-Strengthening Spice

Who doesn’t want a naturally strong immune system to fight off all those creepy crawlies that are on the lookout for the weak? Turmeric has anti-viral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal compounds that can not only help your immune system fight off the bad guys, but it also strengthens your immune system by removing some of the load!

We haven’t even mentioned that turmeric has tons of healthy nutrients such as calcium, fiber, vitamins and minerals! All of this is found in a non-toxic substance that, even at high doses, does not appear to have any side effects, other than the one we mentioned in the point about diabetes. Some people have said that high doses give them headaches or nausea, but that cutting back on their dose or splitting it up in to several smaller doses cured even these mild issues.

You simply can’t go wrong by adding more of this spice to your life. Why don’t you start today?
