Hey Dolls,
I am pretty sure you know by now that one of the main benefits of living a healthy lifestyle is hopefully less doctors visits and no need for medication. I am also big on herbs and healing yourself through home remedies. While I was in Trinidad, I picked up some organic turmeric that I use to make the most amazing shakes. You should also know that turmeric is in the ginger family, and is a root that gets ground into powder used for cooking.
Benefits of Turmeric
