2 Cool Turmeric Tips

I had back surgery this past January. During the time leading up to my surgery I was taking a ton of Advil throughout the day. Dr. Kobrin who owns the chiropractic office across the street from our PhatBurn White Plains location suggested I start supplementing with turmeric as a natural anti-inflammatory.

I headed to GNC to pick some up and have been taking a turmeric everyday for about three months. I do like to know what affects supplements have on my body,  After researching turmeric I found 2 other cool things you can use it for.

Check these out…

It can whiten your teeth!

Turmeric stains everything it touches. I was getting yellow stains on my jeans and towels for 2 months before I figured out it was from taking my pill each day and it getting on my hands and then clothes.

Step 1:  Combine the ingredients below in a bowl to create a paste.
3 tbspns softened coconut oil
2 tspn baking soda
1 tspn Turmeric

Step 2: Use it on a dry toothbrush

Step 3: Smile

Personally crest white strips are a lot easier but they leave a funny feeling in my mouth so I like to try different tooth whitening methods from time to time.  If your a coffee drinker and red wine drinker like me don’t let that ruin your smile 🙂
