Turmeric Rice

Turmeric Rice

The cold and flu season has hit our home HARD these last few weeks, and to fight it off, I have been filling up on all things TURMERIC. Yes! This potent, Middle Eastern spice should be a staple in your diet – especially this time of year. Curcumin is one of the main active compounds in turmeric and has powerful immune, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Curcumin has been shown to potentially enhance your body’s antibody response and down-regulate the expression of inflammatory immune mediators (like cytokines). This will help your body fight off that cold bug quicker and stronger. It has also been shown to help prevent cardiovascular disease and improve symptoms of arthritis and depression. Proving curcumin/turmeric benefits for long term health as well!

I am so excited to share this delicious way to make rice this winter! It’s really so dang EASY to make. We have had it twice within the last week already.
