One way to improve heart health is to exercise. But what if you could achieve some of the benefits of exercise without stepping on a treadmill?

According to a recent study, that dream can become a reality with a supplement: curcumin.

One reason exercise is so good for the heart is because it improves endothelial function. When researchers compared exercise to curcumin supplementation, they found that curcumin was just as effective as exercise in improving endothelial function.
