| Turmeric – How to Consume It For Best Effect |
But you must ensure that your body uses properly the powerful turmeric. For this purpose, you need to learn how to consume it.
Turmeric is soluble in oil, which means that you should combine it with some fat for optimal absorption of nutrients. It is most often prepared with organic virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil.
The daily recommended amount of turmeric should be about 3 g to 10 g.
Thus, about 1 teaspoon of turmeric is the recommended daily intake for adults. For maximum effect, you should take it on a daily basis or at least three times a week.
Elderly people and children younger than 6 years should reduce the dose to half (1/2 teaspoon) once a week for the first time, and then increase the amount of dose that corresponds to the individual. If turmeric is causing indigestion or undesirable reactions, consult a physician.
Important: Combine turmeric and black pepper to maximize their performance. Taking this together, pepper increases the bioavailability of turmeric.
Caution!
Never taken on an empty stomach.
If you fight with gallstones, consult your doctor before you add turmeric to your food plan (turmeric increases the production of bile and can worsen your condition)
Do not combine with anti-clotting drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, or warfarin (Coumadin, martefarin) because turmeric also thins the blood.
