Benefits of the Minerals in Turmeric
-
Weight Loss
-
Without enough manganese, people tend to have problems maintaining proper weight, and can also become glucose intolerant.
Osteoporosis
-
Manganese, together with other minerals and supplements, is often part of the medical treatment for osteoporosis and PMS. It also helps with mood swings.
Stress Reducer
-
Both potassium and manganese help relieve stress and lower the severity and number of mood swings.
Increased Stamina
-
The additional iron provided by turmeric carries more oxygen to the body and increases stamina and vigor. Potassium depletion also makes you lose muscle strength. Potassium also aids in carrying oxygen to the brain.
Prevention of Anemia
-
Additional iron can prevent and also relieve anemia. Small amounts of turmeric added as a spice can achieve this.
Lower Blood Pressure
-
Potassium helps lower blood pressure, and works with sodium to regulate the balance of water in the body.
