Health Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric is a bright
yellow-orange spice commonly used in curries and sauces. It comes from the
turmeric root. The spice has been used for its medicinal, antioxidant, and
anti-inflammatory properties for thousands of years.
Turmeric tea is one popular
form of consuming turmeric. It has a unique but subtle flavor. The tea is also
great way to reap the following health benefits of turmeric.
Bitter kola
Garcinia kola is
an edible seed, which belongs to a unique group of plants that help organisms
to adapt to stress by influencing multiple regulatory systems responsible for
stimulus–response coupling such as the immune system and act also as a general
anti-infective agent. G. kola,
commonly known as bitter kola or male kola, is used in traditional African
medicine for the treatment of various infectious diseases, such as hepatitis,
infections due to the influenza virus and other viral diseases.
Kola Nuts
The kola nut is the fruit of
the kola tree (Cola
acuminata and Cola
nitida), indigenous to West Africa. The trees, which reach heights
of 40 to 60 feet, produce a star-shaped fruit. Each fruit contains between two
and five kola nuts. About the size of a chestnut, this little fruit is packed
with caffeine.
Kola nuts have a bitter taste
when chewed fresh. When they’re dried, the taste becomes milder and they
reportedly smell of nutmeg.
