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.

Great post, dear @cryptokraze!

Thanks for all these information
about this little star a la tumeric. 👍

It is amazing how much power you get from herbs & roots!

Upvoted, Follow & Resteemed!

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.

Hello there...I'm a doctor

well done ...more people should read this

OH AWESOME POST

  • I LOVE TURMERIC !
    😊

In my place turmeric always I drink after blended, we called here in Indonesia "jamu"

Great health
I like it this food
I appreciate your post......

My family hates it when I cook plain white rice, but when I add turmeric they love it because it resembles yellow rice. I didn't know it had all these great benefits. According to diabetes.org

The Staggering Costs of Diabetes

Growing Epidemic

Diabetes affects 30 million children and adults in the U.S. That's 1 in 11 Americans.
84 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. 90% of them din't know they have it.
Every 21 seconds someone in the U.S is diagnosed with diabetes.
Human Costs

African Americans and Hispanics are over 50% more likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites.
People with diabetes are at higher risk of serious health complications: stroke, blindness, kidney disease, and loss of toes, feet, or legs.
Economic Costs

The total cost of diabetes and prediabetes in the U.S. is $322 billion.
The average price of insulin increased nearly 3 times between 2002 and 2013.
People with diabetes have health care costs 2.3 times greater than those without diabetes

It's all about prevention, just like an apple a day keeps the doctor away, a little bit of turmeric a day, will keep the needle away.

Keep the great post coming.

i really, really, really hope that you call turmeric rice 'happy rice' because that's the only thing you can use to name bright yellow rice...

Your post enlighten me more on this herbal plant. Thanks, you are really a gem to our world....

Good content, rich with useful information. Thanks for sharing.

This kinds of post will make people healthy and know the power of the nature...

That’s really true...one of my friends parents try this out and cure her illness

I know turmeric as cooking spice and cosmetic additive, I never knew about the health benefit of it thanks for the insight.

Termaric is a god for over health

Depression and all these things are quite normal and something that we need to be very careful about. It helps a lot if you have proper diet and right balance approach in life. To me the BEST WAY for it is with this article, which explains things regarding stress/tension inside out. http://www.blackburndistributions.com/blog/supplements-fatigue-stress-tiredness/

Sorry to be a downer but this information is so far from human health. If everything that showed an effect on a protein or improved cells in a dish worked in people then we wouldn't have any problems treating disease. There is no rigor or value really in any of the studies you shared.

This is very informative never knew of it

One of the remedies I have used for the last 25 years for a sore throat is turmeric and honey. I still recommend it to people. It works better than anything I know. You basically just get a tsp of honey and mix turmeric with it. Repeat if you need to - it's not as if you can overdose on it. Also, turmeric hot milk is like the best thing ever - guess I should write a steem post on this soon if anyone is interested. They are really popular in Australia at cafes these days!
