What is Turmeric?

Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in India. Curcumin is the main ingredient in turmeric, and it has powerful ant-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

A smoothie is such a great way to start the day. It is the simplest way to get a whole lot of nutrition in your body that will fuel you throughout your morning. I love to make a double batch of this and save the rest for the afternoon. Drinking this smoothie is a great way to avoid the afternoon crash and just have something healthy on hand. Put the extra in a glass mason jar, and bring it with you to work or pop it in your fridge for later.

Our liver can easily become overburdened by:

Stress
Poor diet
Alcohol consumption
Toxins in our health & beauty products
Air pollution
Medications
Toxins in our home
Use of plastics
Exposure to fluoride in our toothpaste and drinking water

When our livers become overburdened, the body cannot detox itself fast enough causing toxins to build up, which can lead to poor health. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory compound.

Turmeric looks likes very similar to ginger root. It has a beautiful orange color when you cut it open. You can usually find turmeric root at your health food store or you can buy it in powdered form as a spice to add to your food. Either way, it’s a super food for your body.
