Considering consuming turmeric regularly?
We’re here to answer your most frequently asked questions. From the best ways to receive maximum health benefits from the Golden Spice to its safe daily consumption, we've got you covered. Dive in as we explore how quickly turmeric fights inflammation and its potential impact on shedding stubborn belly fat.
What is the best way to consume turmeric?
Turmeric is best consumed after being heated with boiling water and healthy fats (like coconut oil), and converted into Golden Paste, then added to a stew to infuse the dish with turmeric’s distinctive flavour and health benefits. You can also add the Golden Paste to turmeric shots or breakfast smoothies.
Another convenient vegan and gluten-free option is high-potency turmeric whole food bars. Turmeric Life’s WhamBams, GingiBams and ChickiBams contain superfood ingredients and are a convenient and cost-effective option for incorporating turmeric into your daily healthcare routine.
Is it safe to consume turmeric every day?
Absolutely, daily consumption of turmeric is backed by thousands of years of historical evidence. However, there are some drug interactions to consider if you’re taking medication. See our article here for details.
How fast does turmeric work for inflammation?
The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, can begin to alleviate inflammation within a few hours of consumption with noticeable effects often experienced within 12 hours. Unfortunately, turmeric is poorly absorbed by the body so regular consumption as part of a balanced diet will lead to more sustained anti-inflammatory benefits over time.
Can turmeric burn belly fat?
Turmeric stimulates metabolism, including fat metabolism, and so it normalises blood glucose. Normalised blood glucose helps to suppresses appetite, causing the body to turn to body fat as fuel. While it doesn't directly "burn" belly fat, incorporating turmeric into your diet can contribute to overall fat loss, including in the abdominal region, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.
