Turmeric, the spice that gives Indian cuisine its characteristic yellow colour, prevents rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis that leads to bone loss. The spice, which has been used an antiseptic in Indian traditional medicine for centuries, has been shown to protect the liver, inhibit cancerous tumors and fight infections because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that make it effective against inflammatory disorders such as asthma, multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease. It works by fighting inflammation, which accelerates rheumatoid arthritis and spur cancerous growths. Consuming curcumin also has been shown to repair skin damage caused by radiation therapy for cancer.
