Scrambled eggs are a favourite breakfast idea. If we're already making them, it's also worth considering our health by adding a pinch of a product that costs just pennies. It will benefit the body, and we won't even notice its taste.

Many people choose scrambled eggs for breakfast every morning, often accompanied by sandwiches or vegetables. Although this is a healthy option, adding a pinch of one particular product can make it even more nutritious. What exactly are we talking about? Turmeric, which is a powerful antioxidant.

Add turmeric to scrambled eggs

A few years ago, it was mistakenly believed that frequent consumption of scrambled eggs had a negative impact on cholesterol. The World Health Organization has debunked this myth. According to WHO, a healthy person can consume up to 12 weekly eggs.

Scrambled eggs are a great breakfast option. Fried in a small amount of butter and complemented with salt, pepper, and your favourite additions, they're healthy and provide satiety. If we want them to be even more beneficial to our bodies, add a pinch of turmeric, also known as long turmeric or Indian saffron. Available in root form (similar to ginger) and as a powder, it costs just pennies.

Turmeric is a health bomb

Unfortunately, not everyone knows about turmeric's many health benefits. First, it is one of the most potent antioxidants, showing powerful anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer effects. Regular consumption also benefits the reduction of high cholesterol levels and the protection of the digestive system.

Where can we add turmeric? Besides scrambled eggs, it works well in soups, stews, curries, smoothies, or teas - with the addition of lemon, honey, and cloves.

Important! Turmeric can affect the action of some medications. Before starting regular consumption, consult with a doctor or pharmacist.
