238: Five Minute Friday: 12 Shocking Health Benefits of Turmeric That Will Blow Your Mind - a podcast by Kay Durairaj, MD, FACS @beautybydrkay

Happy Friday Beauties! 

On this week's Five-Minute Friday, I reveal all the secrets of turmeric, and its active component, curcumin. Turmeric has a long history of use in traditional medicine, with known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, various research has shown additional health benefits within this golden spice. From protecting against heart disease, preventing cancer, and treating depression, to improving your skin, serving as an anti-aging supplement, and protecting your body from free radicals, I discuss the numerous potential advantages of curcumin, as well as the scientific research that went into these discoveries. Unfortunately, turmeric is not absorbed well by the body, and you will need to do more than just eat curry to reap these benefits. So, hit play to hear the simple way you can increase the bioavailability of turmeric and ensure your body retains all these important health benefits.
