Turmeric has been proven to aid in digestion and provide anti-inflammatory properties. It also has benefits as an antioxidant and some studies have suggested it can even increase the antioxidant capacity of the body. New studies demonstrate turmeric has been correlated with boosting mood and enhancing emotional well-being due to raising serotonin and dopamine levels, possibly lowering depression and anxiety.

Not only is this oatmeal amazingly good for you in so many ways, it is absolutely delicious! The fragrant spices make this a warm, comforting breakfast, and it is even better topped with fresh fruits and maple syrup!
