Adding turmeric to your diet is simple. You can purchase it in capsule form and take it as a supplement, after talking to your doctor about adding a new supplement, of course; or you can add it to your standard spice rack for your next meat seasoning. You can even add it to your soups and stews. There are some great recipes for warm turmeric milk and turmeric paste made with honey online as well.

Just be careful. The curcumin that gives turmeric its amazing benefits is also what gives it that gorgeous golden hue — and it stains. Try not to get too much on your hands!
