Turmeric has been used in the field of Ayurveda for thousands of years as both a spice and as a traditional Ayurvedic medicine. This is thanks to its numerous health benefits because of its key ingredient – curcumin. Curcumin is a powerful ingredient that has multiple advantages.
Here’s a quick summary of a few of the turmeric curcumin benefits.
Key Turmeric Curcumin Benefits
-
Anti-Inflammatory
Recent studies have shown that long-term inflammatory responses in your body can lead to many serious side effects, including heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Curcumin is a bioactive ingredient that has been proven to reduce inflammation. If coupled with Ginger it has shown to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes which often lead to inflammation and combined with Black Pepper has superior absorption than on its own. Our Organic Turmeric with Ginger and Black Pepper could do just the trick.
-
Digestion Aid
Turmeric promotes healthy digestion by stimulating the production of bile. Bile is produced by the liver in the body to aid with digestion. It regulates the pH of the substances entering the small intestine from the acidic stomach. It also helps with the emulsification of lipids in the small intestine (i.e. the breakdown of fat) during digestion.
-
Liver Disease Prevention
Turmeric is a potent liver detoxifier. The liver has a very crucial role in our body. Not only is it responsible for the production of bile, but it’s also responsible for the filtering of the blood to flush out toxins and waste. Therefore, curcumin may help with the normal functioning of the liver.
-
Wound Healing
Turmeric has natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties making it ideal for promoting skin barrier repair and the healing of any wounds.
-
Stronger Immune System
Turmeric contains lipopolysaccharide, a substance that works by stimulating your immune system. Curcumin, even at low doses, has been shown to increase antibody response, which is crucial for fighting infections.
-
Cholesterol Reduction
Research has shown that turmeric may be effective in lowering bad cholesterol levels in the body. Bad cholesterol can be responsible for fatty deposits in your blood vessels, and eventually in worst case scenarios, heart attacks or strokes.
