On many episodes of theDoctorsTV and Dr. Oz, the spice known as Turmeric has been recognized for it’s healthful benefits and its flavor to add something extra to boring foods.

Not only does Turmeric zip up your brown rice dishes and curries, but it adds color to many amazing dishes while enhancing food’s warming qualities.

Since most people are NOT fabulous cooks in their home kitchens, we want to suggest that you get this incredible spice’s health benefits by taking it in the form of an oil. Turmeric is mixed with other ingredients like black pepper and natural sweeteners, so it is both palatable and even more bio-available to your body. Now you can take a teaspoon of this ‘golden spice’ blend and get all the nutritional value in an easy and quick form…without having to become a culinary genius.

Go to the Superfoods link on the Menu of the BestFoodEver website and look for the ‘Golden Spice Elixir’. That’s it…that’s the Turmeric oil in all its glory.

Basically, if you want to detox your liver and blood; this spice blend is ideal for that purpose. If you have gallstones, then take it nice and slow…gradually building up from a small amount to gently increasing the amount you take daily. You don’t want to dislodge large gallstones immediately. You want to slowly dissolve the stones until they no longer present a problem which often causes excruciating pain when a stone is being passed. You NEVER want to experience THAT kind of pain!

Turmeric is considered to be helpful in removing heavy metals from the body, too. In the blood or in the lungs, particulates from sources of heavy metals like the exhaust from your cars on the road or air pollution from industrial plants or even the mercury in fish need to be eliminated from your blood and body tissue carefully, yet effectively. Chelation is extremely important to the maintenance of healthy cellular structure.

There are other obvious health benefits that are gained when you regularly get Turmeric in your system which you can read about in greater detail on the BestFoodEver website.

That doesn’t mean that you should no longer cook with Turmeric and other spices… No, please, add zest and true flavor to your bland foods with Turmeric which you can find at Frontier and MySpiceSage. These are two excellent sources for Turmeric. For maximum value for your health, you always want your spices and herbs to be fresh and organic. Once ground, the oils in spices become rancid rapidly, so you want to purchase your spices from reputable sources which are known for their quality of providing fresh spices. Don’t buy old jars of spices that have been on grocery stores shelves for months or even for years!

When you take the information from the doctors like Dr. Oz and combine that with the wisdom of the true cooks in the kitchen; then you have a winning combination which will further your progress to lasting Wellness.
