Turmeric - Gymophobics

Turmeric

If you are a fan of Indian food, here’s an excuse to tuck into a curry even more often.

The spice contains a high amount of curcumin, which fights heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes.

It also aids cell repair in stroke patients and those with Alzheimers’s, thanks to its high levels of tumerone.

The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric can ease the symptoms of arthritis too.

Not a curry fan? Just add the powder to an egg dish.
