Turmeric is a spice that has been used medicinally for centuries. That\u2019s because its active compound, curcumin, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. \u201cIt\u2019s also an antioxidant that can be beneficial in combating oxidative stress and free radicals,\u201d says Allison Knott<\/a>, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics. \u201cPlus it potentially has anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-viral properties.\u201d<\/p>\n

As mentioned, nutritionists often recommend adding powdered turmeric to your meals, since \u201ceating a diet that includes turmeric along with other antioxidant-rich foods can also be beneficial for health and long-term chronic disease prevention,\u201d says Knott, who recommends prioritizing diet before adding supplements for disease prevention and management. Elyse Love<\/a>, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York, told Vogue previously that \u201cgiven the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects of turmeric, incorporating it into a well-rounded diet may be beneficial for most skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, a turmeric supplement has the potential to deliver a much higher dose of curcumin, which is especially helpful for reaping all the benefits it has to offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a longevity nutritionist, I love recommending turmeric supplements for their scientifically backed benefits,\u201d says Davar, RD<\/a>. \u201cI also recommend it for gut health, as curcumin supports gut lining integrity and promotes a healthy balance of gut bacteria. For heart health, it\u2019s a fantastic option to improve endothelial function and lower LDL cholesterol, key factors in reducing heart disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davar says turmeric is also remarkable for brain-health support, \u201cwith neuroprotective benefits that may help reduce the risk of depression and cognitive decline.\u201d Some studies suggest it may even help prevent age-related diseases<\/a> like Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s, and Huntington\u2019s disease, says Rosales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turmeric is a spice that has been used medicinally for centuries.
