Don't let the rainy season make you feel under the weather! Build a strong, healthy immune system with turmeric!

Turmeric has cucurmin, a health-promoting and disease-preventing active ingredient which helps reduce the symptoms of colds and flu.  

So start adding turmeric in your diet! There are lots of ways to drink and eat this spice. You may add it to your egg and rice breakfast combo, use it in soups and greens, blend it in your smoothie, or even make a tea out of it.
Not only is turmeric a superfood, but it also makes a dish more nutritious and delicious!
