Turmeric has been given glowing reports as an anti-inflammatory. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric which packs a punch when it comes to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties while helping to decrease the risk of heart disease as well as slow the development of certain cancer cells. I love to use turmeric in many of my recipes especially my Golden Milk Turmeric Latte. It’s like a warm hug on a cold day and a much better option than other caffeine and refined sugar-laden beverages.
