Turmeric Is an Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse
Turmericis best known for containing the compound curcumin.
Curcumin is a strong antioxidant with powerful anti-inflammatory effects at high doses.
However, the body doesn’t easily absorb it.
That’s why pairing turmeric with black pepper is useful.
Studies also show it may help lower cholesterol by preventing arterial plaque build-up and protect against cardiovascular diseases.
Like turmeric, ginger is considered an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
It also has antimicrobial properties, meaning ginger can also help prevent bacteria from growing, said Mok.
