Experts Reveal the Chemo-Preventive Potentials of Turmeric

(Newswire.net — April 20, 2017) Orlando, FL — A wide variety of diseases and disorders are affecting millions of people today. This is why many are turning to the use of natural alternatives, such as turmeric, to potentially increase their protection against a range of medical conditions.

Experts reveal the chemo-preventive potentials of turmeric. There are medical conditions, such as multiple myeloma, that are exposing many people to life-threatening situations. There is radiation therapy used to help sufferers. However, this treatment option may also result in complications.

Multiple myeloma is a condition that develops when the bone marrow plasma cells turn cancerous. Tumors usually form in the plasma cells of the bone marrow.

One of the risk factors of the condition is having a history of radiation therapy. Sufferers usually experience symptoms such as fever, anemia, pain in the back or bones, bleeding problems, shortness of breath, and numbness in the legs or arms.

The complications associated with the condition are pneumonia, bone fractures, paralysis, and kidney failure.

According to researchers, curcumin may potentially lead to apoptosis or cell death. Curcumin is a phytochemical found in turmeric that is believed to be responsible for majority of the spice’s potential health benefits.

Curcumin may potentially offer anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, anti-carcinogenic, and antibiotic properties.

The NF-kB takes care in signaling the genes to manufacture inflammatory molecules such as IL-6, TNF, and COX-2, which are damaging. Curcumin may offer the potential to inhibit NF-kappaB activation.

This possible action by curcumin is believed to suppress the proliferation of inflammatory molecules, as well as, result in cycle arrest and cell suicide. Thus, it has led some researchers to suggest that curcumin potentially has effective chemo-preventive properties.

In traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, turmeric has been used for thousands of years in helping to fight a range of conditions. This ancient spice has also been used in the kitchen for a range of dishes and beverages. It has been popularized by its powerful potential health-boosting effects. Some even consider it to be one of the most therapeutic spices in the world.

While turmeric can be incorporated in one’s diet to potentially obtain its positive attributes, it may also be taken through curcumin supplementation.

Supplements are believed to contain higher levels of curcumin, and this is why many people are turning to supplementation instead of adding turmeric powder in their food.

There are also curcumin supplements that contain black pepper extract, which has the potential to increase the absorption of the phytochemical’s effects inside the body.
