There may be turmeric latte benefits. Several compounds in turmeric may support your mental and physical health. The most well-known of these is curcumin. Studies are still in progress but it is thought that consuming turmeric could potentially ease depression and help antidepressants work better, fight inflammation, and keep blood sugar levels steady.
