Turmeric, a classic Indian spice, has been gaining more and more attention in recent years as a natural remedy for a wide variety of health complaints. “In the past couple of years, [turmeric] has constantly been on the lists of cool new ingredients to add to things, and more research is being done on the benefits, so I think people are picking up on that,” says Maggie Michalczyk, RDN, the Chicago-based creator of the food and nutrition blog of Once Upon a Pumpkin. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a close cousin of ginger, and is the spice responsible for curry’s characteristic yellow hue. (1) This bold root has been used for centuries in Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and other traditional medicine systems to ease arthritis, reduce gas, improve digestion, and increase overall energy. (2) Today, there’s preliminary research that may support some of these traditional uses. For example, one of turmeric’s primary benefits is that it’s a potent anti-inflammatory; a study showed it’s more effective than common anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen (Advil) and aspirin. (3) Thanks to its inflammation-fighting powers, turmeric may help treat inflammatory conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer, according to another study. (4) Many of turmeric’s potential benefits stem from a specific compound: curcumin. According to a review published in 2022, curcumin has been shown to lower inflammation, as well as improve insulin sensitivity, which plays a role in type 2 diabetes prevention. (5,6) Curcumin also contains antioxidants, which are compounds that help protect against damaging free radicals found in environmental pollutants like cigarette smoke. Overexposure to free radicals can lead to oxidative stress, or an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants, and potentially lead to diseases and health conditions like arthritis and heart disease. (7) Curcumin has been shown to improve systemic markers of oxidative stress, which may help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals. In other words: Turmeric (and curcumin on its own) may be a worthwhile addition to any healthy diet — whether you add it to food or take it in the form of a supplement. Here’s what you need to know about the safety and recommended dosages of this popular yellow spice.

707 Stand Up to Prevent Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

A study published in March 2018 in BJU International looked at 69,795 healthy middle-aged men over the course of two and a half years and recorded the amount of time they spent sitting, their physical activity, and whether they had lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The results? Those who spent five or more hours per day sitting, as well as those who had low physical activity levels in general, were more likely to develop LUTS (incomplete emptying, urinary frequency or urgency, a weak urinary stream, or having to get up to urinate at night). The fix? If you have to sit all day for work, stand up and walk or move around for five minutes every hour. Or get a standing desk.
