In India, there is hardly any dish where we don't put in a bit of turmeric. But it's always in powder form and the use is in little quantities. The great benefits of turmeric were discovered when people observed that the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in India was a fraction of the global average.

Some people have a tiny bit of raw tumeric in the morning on an empty stomach. Some put in a little bit in a cup of warm milk and drink it before going to bed. But our cooking itself guarantees that we have some turmeric every day, and I really mean every day.

Best is to find a few recipes of Indian food that one likes and learn how to cook them. Turmeric is bound to be there.
