Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Thank you for your time - I was told yesterday that Tumeric has properties that can help lower my total blood cholesterol. My number is 230 however, my HDL, LDL, and Triglycerides fall within the normal ranges. I'm hesitating a bit - what side affects should I be aware of.
Turmeric as such does not have any side effects. On the other hand benefits of turmeric powder are many and it can be taken. But over long time in few people it can lead nausea, gastritis as side effects. Your only total cholesterol is high.
For that additionally I suggest you to cut off fat in diet. Excess fatty foods should be restricted. Regular exercise will be beneficial.
