Taco Tuesday with Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

Turmeric is a bright yellow spice used throughout Asia for centuries and has a list of health benefits including a natural anti-inflammatory/pain. Turmeric contains curcumin which has proven properties that block the action of inflammatory molecules in the body. 

An easy way to get the benefits of turmeric is to add the spice to your food. Here's a recipe packed with the benefits of turmeric and cauliflower.

Like turmeric, cauliflower has a host of healthy benefits. One interesting benefit is it contains a compound called sulforaphane, which activates pathways that makes antioxidants more available and reduces oxidative stress in our brains. It works to protect the brain from central nervous diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke and more.
