Dear friends of Gramm Bulkshop, we share with you some information about turmeric:
Turmeric compounds are called curcuminoids. The most important one is curcumin and it has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Indian system of treatment, recommends turmeric for a variety of health conditions.
Benefits of turmeric:
Anti-inflammatory
The Arthritis Foundation cites several studies in which turmeric has reduced inflammation that people with arthritis feel in their joints.
Antioxidant
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
Brain benefits
Curcumin boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and may help fight various degenerative processes in your brain.
Heart disease
Curcumin improves the function of the endothelium, the lining of your blood vessels. It helps to regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, and various other factors.
Cáncer
Curcumin has been studied as a beneficial herb in cancer treatment and been found to affect cancer growth and development
Studies have shown that it can contribute to the death of cancerous cells, reduce angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels in tumors) and reduce metastasis (spread of cancer)
Alzheimer’s
It’s known that inflammation and oxidative damage play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, and curcumin has beneficial effects on both.
In addition, a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease is a buildup of protein tangles called amyloid plaques. Studies show that curcumin can help clear these plaques
Depression
Curcumin is as effective as an antidepressant.
Depression is also linked to reduced levels of BDNF and a shrinking hippocampus, a brain area with a role in learning and memory. Curcumin can help boost BDNF levels, potentially reversing some of these changes
There’s also some evidence that curcumin can boost the brain neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
You can use turmeric in tea, smoothies, sauces, soups, roasts, dressings, etc.
