It has strong antioxidant properties and stimulation of the body’s immune system. Studies have linked consumption of Turmeric to cancer prevention and treatment also. It is well documented that cancer rates are lower in India as compared to those in western countries. Absorption of curcumin by the body is supposed to be greatly enhanced when it is used in cooking.

There is also circumstantial evidence that turmeric consumption improves mental functions.

Recent research shows that the absorption of the wonder substance, Curcumin, is greatly increased when it is turmeric is cooked with a vegetable like cauliflower (gobi). So, before you pass up that yellow gobi ki subzi (Indian preparation of potato cauliflower), think about the immense health benefits that it offers.
