Turmeric Compounds May Help in the Prevention of Painful Periostitis

(Newswire.net — February 13, 2017) Orlando, FL — Fluoride can be found everywhere, and it is even used in products such as toothpastes. While there are benefits in using this substance, the disadvantages are believed to outweigh the benefits it offers.

Turmeric compounds may help in the prevention of painful periostitis. This condition may develop due to fluorosis, which results from chronic exposure to high fluoride levels. Fluorosis is characterized by the buildup of toxic fluoride levels in the teeth, bones, and certain organs.

Fluoride may also integrate itself into the bone structure, which makes bones abnormally brittle, dense, and painful. Fluorosis has long been linked with the increased risk of bone cancer, kidney damage, slowed growth, and thyroid changes.

The toxin called fluoride usually accumulates in the tissue. This toxin can be produced by environmental pollution from manufacturers of plastics, aluminum, and light bulb etching. Fluoride can also be found in domestic water supplies, dental product ingredients, and certain pharmaceutical drugs.

According to research, curcumin may have the potential to offer protection against the toxic effects of fluoride.

In lab studies, it was found that curcumin compounds may have successfully reduced significant levels of the DNA damage from exposure to fluoride in human blood cells.

The findings of the study have led the researchers to suggest that curcumin may be an excellent addition to the diet of individuals who are at risk of being exposed to high fluoride levels.

Curcumin is a phytochemical found in turmeric, which is an ancient spice. Turmeric has long been used for kitchen and health purposes in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.

Curcumin contains a variety of potentially therapeutic agents and is believed to offer antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

These unique substances may be obtained by incorporating turmeric in one’s diet. Turmeric powder can be added in a myriad of dishes and beverages. It has a deep yellow-orange color and potent taste.

Consumers may also take curcumin supplements. Today, there are many people who are using curcumin supplements to potentially help improve their overall health and immunity against a range of diseases and disorders.

Supplements are thought to contain higher levels of curcumin.  Curcumin supplements are widely used by individuals who suffer from painful conditions, such as arthritis. The potential health benefits of curcumin are thought to help fight arthritis pain and inflammation.

Consumers usually prefer curcumin supplements with black pepper extract, which is believed to be a bioavailability-enhancing ingredient. Thus, it may help to increase curcumin absorption inside the body.
