Turmeric Water in the Morning - Yes or No?

 By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

Every few months, a new health trend takes over the internet. Right now, it’s turmeric water in the morning. 🌿

But the real question is — should you actually follow this trend, or is it just another internet fad?

Let’s break it down with science.

The Power of Turmeric

Turmeric has been part of Indian kitchens and Ayurveda for centuries. The credit goes to curcumin, its active compound.

Research shows curcumin has:

  • Anti-inflammatory properties → may ease joint pain and stiffness
  • Antioxidant effects → protects your cells from damage
  • Digestive benefits → may reduce bloating and support gut health
  • Immune support → natural boost to fight infections

Sounds great, right? But there’s a catch.

The Absorption Problem

Your body doesn’t absorb curcumin easily. That’s why, if you just sip plain turmeric water, most of it passes right through.

Here’s where science comes in:

  • Adding a pinch of black pepper makes all the difference.
  • Black pepper contains piperine, which boosts curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.
  • Mixing turmeric with a healthy fat (like warm milk or ghee) also helps.

So, turmeric water works — but only if you prepare it right.

When You Should Avoid It

Like any “superfood,” turmeric water isn’t for everyone. It may not be safe if you have:

  • Gallbladder stones or bile duct issues
  • Stomach ulcers (it can worsen irritation)
  • Bleeding disorders or are on blood thinners
  • Certain medications (antacids, diabetes medicines, etc.)

This is why blindly following wellness fads can be risky. Always check with your physician first.

So, Is Turmeric Water Worth It?

Yes — but smartly, not blindly.

  • ✔ Add a pinch of black pepper for better absorption.
  • ✔ Don’t overdo it — ½ teaspoon turmeric is enough.
  • ✔ Drink it warm, not boiling hot.
  • ✔ Make it a part of a healthy lifestyle, not a miracle cure.

Turmeric water is supportive, not a substitute for balanced nutrition, medical treatment, or lifestyle changes.

🧠💥 Take Charge of Your Metabolic Health - Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon!

  by Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara In today’s fast-paced world, where sedentary lifestyles, stress, and poor eating habits have led to a rise in obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, taking charge of your metabolic health is more important than ever. But where should you start? Let’s begin with a common question:   Does exercise really help with weight loss?  Absolutely. Whether it’s a 20-minute swim, a brisk 30-minute walk, or a session on the treadmill, you could burn around 250–350 calories. But here’s a fun fact — your body naturally burns 1300–1800 calories a day just by keeping you alive. This is called your resting metabolic rate. So, when you add exercise to the mix, you boost your calorie burn significantly — especially when it’s combined with the right nutrition plan. Now, you might ask, “Is diet more important than exercise?”  At Kayakalpa, we take a root-cause approach to chronic disease and emphasize that exercise is just...
