Turmeric is a common spice that’s widely used across the world. It is not just food turmeric is used in; however, there are various other uses that you might not know about, such as cosmetics and religious ceremonies.
Because of its bright yellow colour, turmeric is also known ‘the golden spice’. With more than 100 chemical compounds present in it, turmeric is often called a miraculous spice.
However, it’s the active compound of turmeric – curcumin that helps the most in fighting several diseases.
Apart from healing, turmeric has several other health benefits too and one of which is fighting against diabetes! Of late, there have been several studies, which prove that turmeric is a boon for those who are diabetic.
However, one should always take turmeric in moderation as it can decrease the blood sugar levels to quite an extent, which is not safe for diabetes patients. Here are 7 ways in which turmeric can help you fight against diabetes:
1. Milk and turmeric
2. Turmeric and black pepper
3. Cinnamon and turmeric
4. Turmeric root extract
5. Honey and turmeric
Before opting for this method, you must consult your physician. Honey is sweet in nature and must not be taken for long term. You can mix a little quantity of honey in turmeric milk and drink it warm for better benefits. This combination works very well in healing diabetic wounds while reducing cholesterol. But we warn again, you must consult your physician before doing this!
6. Ginger and turmeric
To keep your blood sugar levels in check, you can take a pinch of ginger powder along with turmeric milk. This will help in improving your fasting blood sugar levels.
