How to consume turmeric
You can eat fresh turmeric, dried turmeric powder or take dietary supplements. Dr. Bergs suggests eating 2-3 slices of fresh turmeric every day to prevent many health problems.
Johns Hopkins Hospital (USA) suggests drinking 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh turmeric or 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder mixed in warm water every day.
If taking supplements, Dr. Berg notes it’s best to take turmeric pills, not curcumin pills, and take 1 pill a day with meals and don’t overdose.
Although turmeric has many health benefits, pregnant women, nursing mothers, or people taking medication should consult a doctor before using turmeric. People taking blood lipid medications should avoid using high doses of turmeric. Talk to your doctor before taking turmeric, as it may interact with other medications.
