How to Super-Charge Turmeric and
Make It 29 Times Stronger

By now you have probably heard about the health benefits of turmeric. Cooks know it as an ingredient in curry powder, the most important spice in Indian cuisine. Integrative health practitioners know it for its ability to reduce inflammation. It’s been in the news as the latest and greatest solution to osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions. But as good as it is, it has suddenly gotten better. 

Turmeric’s active ingredients come from a group of substances found in its oil called curcuminoids. You know one of them as curcumin. Curcumin is an effective natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, but it has its limitations. When you take it orally, your body doesn’t absorb it well. It breaks down quickly and doesn’t last very long.

Filters Can’t Protect You From Toxic Water — But This Can

There’s no pure water any more. The waterways throughout the world have become polluted and filled with toxins. More exposure to toxins means more health problems. We’re already seeing an increase in toxin-related illnesses like dementia, neurological diseases, and low immune conditions. People are getting sicker more easily and staying sick longer. Now I’ve uncovered some alarming information on toxins in our waters. Instead of improving, the situation is getting worse. Recent nuclear plant meltdowns, flooding rivers carrying sewage and other contaminants into pastures and farmlands, along with heavy metal leaks from mining, has made contamination worse.

The last source for clean water was from glaciers. Now it, too, has become contaminated. In a study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, Swiss researchers looked at the runoff from rapidly melting glaciers in the Swiss Alps. They found that these glaciers are releasing pesticides that were trapped in the ice for decades. And the pesticides are running straight into the lakes. So even our only remaining “pure” water is now toxic.

The Nut That Can Keep You Out of the Hospital

Every year, thousands of people land in the hospital for a common problem. It’s the leading cause of death in children worldwide, and the next biggest population is older adults. My mother was one of them.

She was in her 80s when she had to go to the hospital following a bout of diarrhea. There, doctors gave her intravenous rehydration fluids. And, in a few days, she was able to come home. Although she had been drinking lots of fluids, she had still become dehydrated.

If only I had known then what I know now, she may have avoided the trip to the hospital. The juice of a nut could have prevented her dehydration.
