2. Turmeric
Turmeric is one of those amazing spices you should always have in your pantry. Also known as “the golden spice of India,” turmeric is a great spice for keeping your arteries unclogged and improving your circulation. The superpower of turmeric is curcumin, as it is responsible for most of its properties.
However, according to Dr. Gundry, turmeric is a tricky spice: “It’s actually poorly absorbed on its own unless it is mixed with Bioperine, a compound found in black pepper.” His solution to this problem is adding curry once a week into your diet, because it contains both black pepper and turmeric.
