Most of the spices that we use regularly at home have many medicinal properties. All these are what we have traditionally heard and read. But not all spices work the same for everyone. Turmeric is an example of this.
You may know that turmeric has many health benefits. There are people who mix a pinch of turmeric with lukewarm water and some prepare haldi and eat it right after waking up in the morning. We add turmeric to curries and other dishes because of its medicinal properties. But first understand that it should be used only in limited quantities.
Turmeric mainly helps in boosting immunity. It is also helpful in warding off seasonal problems like fever, cough and cold. There are people who use turmeric to control cholesterol, beautify the skin, get relief from diseases like arthritis, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and lose weight.
But some people prefer not to use turmeric. It can also be said that under what circumstances turmeric should be avoided. People with gallbladder problems should avoid turmeric. Because it can increase the production of bile. This can affect the overall health.
People taking diabetes medications should not use turmeric in addition to curries. Limit yourself to curries. This is because it can cause sudden changes in blood sugar levels. This leads to a sudden drop in sugar. It is not very good for health.
People with stomach problem ‘Gastrophagal Reflux Disorder’ should avoid turmeric. Because it can lead to increased stomach problems. Turmeric should also be avoided by iron deficient people. This is because turmeric reduces the absorption of iron by the body. People with liver disease should also avoid turmeric. This also increases the severity of the disease.
