Curcumin May Reduce Risk of Heart Tissue Destruction

(Newswire.net — February 1, 2017) Orlando, FL — Heart-related conditions are responsible for the increasing mortality rate around the world today. This is why it is essential to take measures to ensure that the heart is provided with the nutrients it needs for added protection.

Curcumin may have the potential to reduce the risk of tissue destruction in the heart. Curcumin is a phytochemical found in turmeric, which is an ancient spice. Turmeric is believed to offer a range of health benefits.

Curcumin is thought to be responsible for many of the positive effects turmeric may potentially offer. This phytochemical is believed to contain antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibiotic, and antiviral properties.

This phytochemical is even believed to be an excellent natural supplement for individuals with congestive heart failure. It may have the potential to increase the efficiency of medications prescribed for the condition as well as blood pressure medicines.

Congestive heart failure develops when the heart is unable to give the demands of the human body for circulation. Tissue damage can be induced by myocardial infarction through heart attack, and this may lead to the development of congestive heart failure.

There are other reasons why this condition takes place such as moving to places with high altitude, constantly engaging in heavy exercise, and other circumstances or conditions that require the heart to work harder. Individuals who suffer from this condition usually experience swelling in the feet and ankles as well as slight puffiness in the feet.

According to the New York Health Association, shortness of breath may be used in classifying the stages of congestive heart failure. The condition may be triggered by unhealthy diet and lifestyle as well as the development of diseases and the presence of certain conditions such as pregnancy. In severe cases, doctors recommend heart transplant or coronary bypass surgery.

Curcumin is believed to have the ability to block an enzyme that triggers a certain process, which may cause heart muscle damage. Tissue damage usually requires the heart to work harder, which then encourages the cells to undergo hypertrophy.

Curcumin is a powerful phytochemical that is also thought to have the ability to stop the action of histone acetylases on the heart DNA and prevent hypertrophy. It may also be able to encourage a synchronized heartbeat and efficient blood flow from the heart across the body.

Individuals who want to take advantage of the potential benefits of curcumin may use supplements. Supplements are believed to contain higher doses of curcumin. There are also curcumin supplements with a black pepper extract called piperine.

Piperine may potentially increase curcumin absorption inside the body, and thus, it may help the supplement to be more therapeutic.
