Turmeric Could Be an Effective Weight Loss Solution

(Newswire.net — May 26, 2017) Orlando, FL — Today, there is quite a number of weight loss products available in the international market. Despite the wide availability of these products, there are still many people who turn to the use of natural remedies.

Turmeric is a weight loss secret that is potentially helpful to obese individuals. This spice has been used since time immemorial due to the therapeutic properties it contains. It is believed to have the ability to fight a variety of medical conditions.

“It contains a bioactive agent called curcumin,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

A groundbreaking study recently conducted suggest that curcumin could be an effective weight loss solution. This study was published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry.

According to researchers, the golden-hued compound in turmeric called curcumin could be a unique solution for individuals who are overweight. This bioactive agent is believed to change the composition of fat cells in favor of the calorie-burning type.

It is not a secret that obesity is one of the global epidemics today. The Western diet is believed to play a major role in the rapid increase of the number of people who are either obese or overweight.

The Western type diet usually consists of genetically modified, chemically contaminated, highly processed, and evolutionary incompatible foods. These foods could potentially have adverse health effects, which can range from severe to lethal.

It is not only the diet that should be blamed for such an epidemic. There are other contributing factors, such as chronic stress, exposure to a host of endocrine disrupters, depleted microbiome, and lack of exercise.

Annually, billions of dollars are wasted on a variety of weight loss products and methods, such as gadgets, surgeries, and pills. Despite of the presence of these products and techniques, the number of obese or overweight individuals continues to grow.

A new study was conducted with a title “Curcumin induces brown fat-like phenotype in 3T3-L1 and primary white adipocytes”. In this study, the Korean researchers were able to establish that curcumin has the potential to induce browning of white fat cells or adipocytes via four different mechanisms.

It could enhance the expression of brown fat specific genes, stimulate the production of new mitochondria, and increase the protein levels of two markers called the hormone-sensitive lipase and p-acyl-CoA carboxylase. It also increases the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).

These for mechanisms of action contribute to the brown fat supporting properties of curcumin. It is also worth mentioning that inflammation has been linked with obesity. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties are thought to help reduce inflammation in the body.
