Inflammation is an essential part of a well functioning, healthy body. However, too much inflammation (chronic inflammation) can lead to a host of modern day diseases like endometriosis, arthritis, or even Alzheimer’s. Preventing chronic inflammation in your body can be done, but you need to pay attention to what you are eating, and avoiding foods that spike inflammation. Fortunately, there is a powerful, natural way to lower inflammation.
Turmeric in an incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory spice. If you take a teaspoon to a half a teaspoon daily, you can lower the inflammation in your body naturally. Crucially, always remember to add black pepper to your turmeric shot. Why? Because black pepper increases the absorption of turmeric in your body by 2000%. Without the black pepper, the turmeric will run straight through your body without doing what it’s meant to – lowering the inflammation.
