One of the Fountains of Youth Can Be Found in Your Kitchen

(Newswire.net — January 2, 2017) Orlando, FL — The use of natural remedies continues to become more and more popular these days. There is an increasing number of people who are turning to the use of natural ingredients, which are believed to offer a range of health benefits.

One of the fountains of youth can be found in your kitchen. Therapeutic spices, such as turmeric, have long been thought to be therapeutic.

Turmeric has been used since time immemorial in fighting a range of diseases and disorders. It is a popular natural remedy in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

“Many of the healing benefits it is thought to offer come from its polyphenol called curcumin,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

Curcumin contains a variety of healing ingredients. Some of these therapeutic substances are its anticacinogenic, antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Active research conducted to investigate the therapeutic effects of turmeric reveals that curcumin has tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), an active metabolite, which could increase the lifespan of roundworms, fruit flies, and mice.

Low-dose of curcumin has been found to increase the lifespan of worms by 39 percent. It is believed that the increase in lifespan was due to the reduction of reactive oxygen species.

It was also found that the average lifespan of flies increased from 64 days to 80 days, through the use of turmeric. Curcumin has also been found to increase levels of a powerful antioxidant called superoxide dismutase, which protects cells upon their exposure to oxygen.

In the study, it was also found that mice live 85 days longer than the non-curcumin group. Researchers find the data promising considering that many scientists have been investigating methods and ingredients that could potentially promote longevity.

Turmeric powder can be added to dishes and beverages. Consumers may obtain the therapeutic effects it could potentially offer by incorporating the spice in their diet. There are also those who prefer to use curcumin supplements.

Today, people resort to dietary and lifestyle changes to achieve optimum health and live longer lives. However, there are natural supplements such as curcumin that could help humans nourish their bodies with certain longevity-promoting nutrients.

Curcumin supplements can be purchased at local health or grocery stores, or in just a matter of clicks online. One of the most popular curcumin supplements today contains a black pepper extract called BioPerine.

BioPerine can increase the absorption of curcumin’s therapeutic properties inside the body. Thus, it is considered to be one of the excellent supplement combinations of curcumin. There are even those who drink turmeric tea with black pepper.
