Turmeric: Apparently It's Good For You? By Susan McLean

According to the Huff Post, Turmeric will 

1. help upset stomachs and heartburn

2. ward off heart disease, cancer, and joint pain

3. help your brain function

4. even help ward off depression, and produce 'happy' brain chemicals 

PLUS, 

the bright orange color adds color and fun to food, and the flavor (similar to ginger but spicier) adds zip.
