(Newswire.net — December 5, 2016) Las Vegas, NV — Turmeric is a spice that is believed to offer a myriad of health benefits. This potentially therapeutic kitchen ingredient is also thought to be helpful in fighting a range of medical conditions.
Turmeric may be potentially beneficial against Parkinson’s disease. This condition affects the nerve cells. It is not just chronic but also progressive. It develops when the nerve cells manufacture neurotransmitter chemical called dopamine, which transmits signals between different parts of the brain.
Individuals who suffer from this condition usually experience problems in muscle movements. There are symptoms such as muscle rigidity, tremors, loss of balance, and changes in walking pattern or posture. They are also susceptible to experiencing increased falls, and changes in handwriting and speech.
The condition may be hereditary and it normally affects individuals who are over the age of 60. However, it may also develop in younger individuals.
According to experts, Parkinson’s disease is often caused by selective deterioration of the dopaminergic neurons. Replenishing striatal dopamine is one of the current treatments of this age-related neurodegenerative disease.
Unfortunately, these pharmaceutical drugs may not be useful on a long-term basis and may even cause motor complications. These medications are also unable to prevent symptoms such as tremors and cognitive defects and postural instability. They are also not neuroprotective.
The good news is that the ancient spice turmeric is believed to have beneficial neuroprotective effects due to its potential ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Turmeric contains a polyphenol called curcumin, which is believed to be responsible for the many potentially therapeutic effects of the spice. Curcumin is believed to offer anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and antibiotic properties.
According to experts, Parkinson’s cells usually experience oxidative damage as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. These are possibly due to the abnormal buildup of aS (a-synuclein) as well as intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species).
Researchers tried to determine the ways turmeric may potentially reduce ROS levels and aS-induced toxicity and prevent cell apoptosis. It was found that rats dosed with curcumin achieved protection against oxidative stress and cell death. This is believed to be due to the potential antioxidant properties of curcumin.
Curcumin may be an excellent addition to one’s diet. There are many natural supplements available nowadays, and curcumin is believed to be one of the most popular options.
Curcumin supplements with piperine are thought to offer more potential benefits. Piperine is a black pepper extract that may be able to increase curcumin absorption inside the body.
