If you haven't heard of the benefits of turmeric, get ready for some good news. The plant has many health benefits and has been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Today, you can find turmeric in supplement form, in lattes, and in your favorite foods (like rice dishes, smoothies, curries, and stews).

The reason for its health benefits? Its active ingredient, curcumin. Studies have found that it contains anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), research has shown that turmeric might help a variety of symptoms and conditions, like inflammation; arthritis; stomach, skin, liver, and gallbladder problems; and cancer. Researchers have also found that curcumin might help reduce the risk for Alzheimer's and improve memory and attention. (Although, more exploration needs to be done.)

Now, you're probably thinking it sounds good and wondering where you can sign up, but it's important to note that before you fill your cart with turmeric, you'll want to talk to your doctor or healthcare professional for dosage recommendations and to find out if it's right for you. The NCCIH reports that high doses of long-term use might cause gastrointestinal problems, and the Cleveland Clinic suggests starting with a low dose (in case of an allergy or intolerance) and working your way up.
