Food and Health Awareness | Significance of Turmeric to your Health

in #food7 years ago

Hey folks @cryptokraze here with another health based article. Many people believe that TURMERIC IS THE most powerful herb on the earth and can cause disease reversal. The benefits of turmeric are very extensive. Currently, more than 10,000 peer-reviewed articles are published, proving the benefits of turmeric, especially one of its famous curative compounds, curcumin.
This makes turmeric one of the most commonly mentioned medicinal plants in all scientific fields.

Turmeric Benefits

Prevent Blood Clots

Blood clots are formed by a process called platelet aggregation, where the platelets concentrate in one area and eventually condense.

In laboratory and animal studies, the use of curcumin in turmeric has significantly reduced platelet aggregation and may reduce the risk of clot formation.

Reduces Depression Symptoms

Neurotransmitter function produces depression through brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The combination of fluoxetine and curcumin resulted in a slightly greater improvement and was considered statistically significant.

Fights Inflammation

It can be said that one of the most powerful aspects of curcumin is its ability to control inflammation.
The journal Oncogene published a study evaluating several anti-inflammatory compounds and found that aspirin and ibuprofen are the two most common NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) with the worst effect, while curcumin is the most effective.

Boosts Skin Health

An uncontrolled study involving 814 members even exposed that curcumin cream can cure 97% of skin infection in 3 to 15 days.

Turmeric as Anti-Cancer

Numerous laboratory studies on cancer cells show that curcumin has an anticancer effect. It seems to kill cancer cells and prevent further growth. It has the best effect on cancer cells of the breast, colon, stomach, and skin.

Manage Diabetes

In 2009, the Biochemical and Biophysical Research Bulletin published a laboratory study at Auburn University that explored the potential of curcumin to lower blood glucose levels. The study shows that curcumin in turmeric is 400 times more strong than metformin, a common diabetes drug, inactivating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).

Wow I've never even heard of this Turmeric or the 10,000 studies referenced. Skin booster, cancer reduced, and blood clot reducer. I wonder if everyone was made aware of this drug, there would be a lot less health related deaths. Where can you get this? In your super market or do you have to order it online?

Yes, you can get turmeric tablets online, but make sure it's hte one with piperine, black pepper, as that helps absorb the turmeric. You can get it from iherb. I've given it to people who use voltaren and they are always suprised it works.

Am sure not many people heard about turmeric and almost certainly sure not many people know about this benefits you talked about here. Certainly informative

This is the reason I have started this awareness series on food and health. The more people know about it the better it will be.

My family and I have always loved turmeric. We made it a habit to always put turmeric in our food and drink. Luckily turmeric is a very popular spice and it is very easy to get so we never run out of it. Anyways, great article. It's very detailed and easy to understand.

I put turmeric in my sons vegetable mash. Dude doesn't get sick much.

that's a genius idea!!! awesome in pumpkin soup with ginger too...

Yes, this article seems to point in all of the right directions. Especially with reducing inflammation. I was able to reduce a persons cancer with the help of Turmeric. My problem has always been is that people rely solely on the doctors even though they can't help them; and not on the individual who has volunteered to help me. Today this person is cancer free and one of the protocols used Turmeric. Which I thoroughly trust.
