Turmeric

Turmeric has been used in ancient medicine for centuries. It's easy to see why. This spice, which just so happens to be the main flavoring component in curries, contains curcumin--the component that gives it its vibrant yellow-orange color as well as helps reduce the risk of cardiac hypertrophy. Sprinkle some turmeric into your morning smoothie. It won't be tasted, but it will benefit your heart.
