5. Helps reduce indigestion and constipation: Several studies have shown that ginger speeds up stomach emptying, which is beneficial for people with indigestion or stomach upset.

Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement there is. Many scientific studies over the years show that it has great benefits for the body and brain. Many of these benefits come from its main active compound, curcumin.

1. Anti-inflammatory: Inflammation is incredibly important as it helps fight external agents and plays an essential role in repairing damage in the body, however, chronic inflammation can be very damaging as it attacks the body's own healthy tissues. The curcumin present in turmeric is a bioactive substance that can combat chronic inflammation by suppressing the molecules responsible for causing it.
    
2. Antioxidant: Oxidative damage is believed to be one of the causes responsible for ageing and many diseases. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant, capable of fighting the free radicals present in the body that cause oxidative damage to cells. According to several studies, curcumin also stimulates the action of other antioxidants, making turmeric an ideal ingredient to mix in infusions or recipes.
    
3. Stimulates the brain: Curcumin increases levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and can help combat degenerative processes in the brain. Stress and a diet high in sugar and fat reduce levels of this hormone BDNF, which is so important for the brain to function properly.
    
4. Helps prevent the appearance of cancer cells: Curcumin in turmeric has been shown to help cancer cells die off and reduce angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels in tumours). There is scientific evidence that it can prevent the onset of cancer, especially those related to the digestive system.
    
5. Relieves the symptoms of arthritis: Arthritis is a very common disorder in the West, characterised by inflammation of the joints. Many studies show that curcumin can help treat the symptoms of arthritis, being in some cases even more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs.
