It’s Time for Turmeric
One of the main causes of death and disease is inflammation. Regardless of the contributing factors like being overweight or having clogged arteries, it is inflammation that ultimately gets you. And turmeric reduces inflammation, better than aspirin. See http://hplusmagazine.com/2014/05/01/turmeric-curcumin/
Given that I love curries – perhaps my favourite food – it is a no brainer to start adding turmeric to my diet.
A. Eat more curries, and choose those with more turmeric in them. The easiest way to achieve this would be to cook them myself, without the use of packet mixes. This is something I have always wanted to do, so now I allocate Sunday afternoons to this endeavour.
I’ll start with recipes from:

B. Add turmeric to non-curry dishes. For example, I will see if Nicola can add it to my roast potatoes:
