The Right Way To Consume Turmeric; Avoid Juicing It, Says Nutritionist Lovneet Batra

Turmeric, also known as haldi, happens to be one of the most popular spices in every Indian household. Indians swear by this bright yellow powdered ingredient and add it to almost every curry made. Turmeric, with its healing properties, works like magic for the body during winters. Apart from including it in food, there are other ways you can have it. Nutritionist Lovneet Batra recommends not to have haldi as a juice. Wondering the reason why? She stated that in an Instagram post, and also explained about the ways to consume it.

In the caption, she wrote, “Turmeric – a very popular winter superfood. Many of us have turmeric as a juice. But, cur-cumin, the active ingredient in turmeric is fat-soluble, hence it is better utilized by our body in fat medium.”

Lovneet Batra suggests the following ways to include turmeric into your diet:

1) Haldi milk

You can consume turmeric by adding it to your glass of milk every day. Health experts often recommend a glass of turmeric milk daily, especially at night before going to the bed. It's good for health, helps in building immunity and is said to be loaded with antioxidants.

2) Kachi haldi

It is understandable that many people don't prefer milk may be allergic to it. However, if you don't have milk, you can still use some kachi haldi in coconut oil and black pepper for better absorption of it in the body.

3) Haldi with honey

You can also have one tablespoon of honey with kachi haldi and two black peppercorns so that this superfood actually gets utilized by our body.
