Curcumin Believed to Be One of the Inflammation-Fighting Remedies

(Newswire.net — May 10, 2017) Orlando, FL — Curcumin is a bioactive ingredient found in turmeric. This phytochemical has been popularized by the healing ingredients it contains, particularly its anti-inflammatory properties.

Curcumin is believed to be one of the inflammation-fighting remedies. This potentially healing ingredient may contain anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, anti-tumor, anticarcinogenic, and antibiotic properties.

According to statistics, 34 percent of the American population suffers from metabolic syndrome. This condition pertains to a cluster of symptoms that increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other chronic disease.

Among these symptoms are high blood pressure, large waistline, low levels of HDL cholesterol, high blood sugar, and high levels of triglycerides. Chronic inflammation has been linked with metabolic syndrome.

Researchers even reveal that inflammatory conditions linked with obesity and overweight play a vital role in the aetiology of the metabolic syndrome.

Curcumin has always been thought to be one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories in nature. It has the potential to reduce inflammation in individuals with the disorder.

In a study, researchers enrolled 117 individuals diagnosed with metabolic syndrome to determine the effects of curcumin on inflammation. Half of the participants belonged to the placebo group while the other half was treated with one gram of curcumin powder on a daily basis for eight weeks.

At the end of the research study, it was found that the curcumin group had a reduction in three blood markers of inflammation. This includes the C-reactive protein (CRP) together with the lower fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c.

The placebo group, on the other hand, had higher blood sugar levels as well as increased inflammation after the study. The researchers assessed eight previous studies, and confirmed that curcumin has helped reduce CRP levels.

Curcumin has been thought to offer more than 150 therapeutic properties. It has even been thought to improve conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke damage.

This phytochemical has a high potential to promote brain health. It has even been believed to be a neuroprotective agent.

Turmeric has long been consumed due to its medicinal properties. There are those who add turmeric in their dishes and beverages.

Consumers may also take curcumin supplements. These supplements are widely popular because they are easy to consume. They contain high levels of the therapeutic properties of curcumin.

There are many types of curcumin supplements, and experts recommend those with black pepper extract. Black pepper is believed to help increase curcumin absorption inside the body.
