Benefits of turmeric

Turmeric is used to regulate the GI tract by many health and holistic professionals. Turmeric acts as an anti-inflammatory, meaning you should feel more energetic and healthy during the day. Adding a little bit to your meals each day will keep you feeling regular and detoxed too.

Why is black pepper needed with turmeric?

Black pepper is not necessarily required for you to absorb turmeric, but it sure does help. Pepper mixed with turmeric can increase your curcumin absorption by 2000% percent. Just add a pinch to ¼ teaspoon of black pepper to your meal whenever you’re using turmeric.

Egg cooking times

For a runny fried egg, cook the egg for just 4-5 minutes and break the whites continuously. A medium-fried egg takes about 6minutes. A well-done fried egg will take closer to 8 minutes to finish frying. If you like more well-done fried eggs, adjust your stove heat as necessary to avoid burning and use a pan lid to trap heat.

Ingredients

½ tablespoon olive oil
2 large raw egg
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ground
1 teaspoon turmeric, ground

Instructions

In a pan the size of your two eggs, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Crack the two eggs into the pan and sprinkle the remaining seasonings over them. Let the eggs sit in the hot oil to start cooking.
Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. For medium-fried eggs, about 6 minutes will do. You can also break the whites in the pan to cook the egg faster or to lesser doneness.
Enjoy the eggs runny. You should not need to add any more turmeric, but you can add more black pepper at your discretion. Pair with your other favorite Carb Manager breakfast recipes.
