Turmeric is as effective as Prozac!

in health •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemians,

Just wanted to share a little fact with you all that totally blew my mind.

A recent study showed that the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, was found to be as effective at treating depression as Prozac. Prozac is the highest prescribed anti depression in the USA.

Why is curcumin so effective:
Simply put, it helps our tummies produce tryptophan which is turned into serotonin or “the happy molecule”.
There is a reason we often refer to our tummies as the second brain and this is why. 75% of our serotonin is actually stored in our guts.

So guys start adding turmeric into your foods, it may just make you feel a little happier 😊

Yeessssss! Great post. I am a healthnut and I use Turmeric in almost all of the dishes I make. Extremely healthy and has a lot of benefits. I'd rather do this and other healthy products than take prescription drugs. :-)

Definitely agree, this little spice a wonder. Has so any health benefits and it makes food tastier!!!!
