Turmeric and especially its most active compound curcumin have many scientifically-proven health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis.
Turmeric belongs to the same family as ginger, and it does resemble ginger. Like ginger, it is a very common spice that is native to Asia, but these days it has become popular in places that have a warm and humid climate. The rhizomes of the turmeric plant have been used for a very long time in cooking because of the ability to add taste to food and also in medicine because of the numerous health benefits. Research has shown a lot of these benefits, but there are still some potential health benefits that are yet to be proven.
Turmeric is good for heart health because of a couple of reasons. One of these reasons is because it has anti-inflammatory properties. In heart health, chronic inflammation is usually a hazardous thing that can lead to many heart problems. When you take turmeric regularly, the anti-inflammatory effect may help keep you safe from some of these heart problems. Also, the curcumin in turmeric may help in the improvement of the lining of blood vessels, thus, ensuring healthy blood pressure.
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
Chronic inflammation contributes to many common Western diseases. Curcumin can suppress many molecules known to play major roles in inflammation.
The main reason antioxidants are so beneficial is that they protect your body from free radicals. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure. In addition, curcumin boosts the activity of your body’s own antioxidant enzymes.
Curcumin has powerful antioxidant effects. It neutralizes free radicals on its own but also stimulates your body’s own antioxidant enzymes.
Curcumin boosts levels of the brain hormone (BDNF) brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in your brain.
Curcumin may help reverse many steps in the heart disease process. Perhaps the main benefit of curcumin when it comes to heart disease is improving the function of the endothelium, which is the lining of your blood vessels.
Curcumin has beneficial effects on several factors known to play a role in heart disease. It may improve the function of the endothelium and is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant.
Turmeric contains bioactive compounds with powerful medicinal properties. Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory compound. Turmeric dramatically increases the antioxidant capacity of the body. Curcumin boosts brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), linked to improved brain function and a lower risk of brain diseases.
