(Newswire.net — June 9, 2017) Las Vegas, NV — Mustards, curry powders, and cheeses – these are just some of the food items that contain the ancient spice called turmeric. This spice is believed to offer a myriad of health benefits, including one that may be favorable to bone health.
Scientists reveal turmeric may offer bone-protective effects. In traditional Chinese and Ayurveda, turmeric has been used for thousands of years as a natural alternative in fighting a range of medical conditions.
According to a recent laboratory study which was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, turmeric may have the potential to protect against osteoporosis. This bone disease may result in an increased risk of fractures and is common in postmenopausal women.
The study was funded by NCCAM and it tested two turmeric extracts that contained varying amounts of curcuminoids. At the end of the study, it was found that turmeric may potentially help to protect bones. However, it is important to note that the possible therapeutic effects depended on the amount of curcuminoids.
The researchers also revealed that turmeric may be a potential alternative to menopausal hormone therapy for bone preservation in menopause. This theory is only applicable if the protective effects do involve estrogen-based pathways.
It is believed that many of the potential effects of this ancient spice come from its curcumin. This bioactive ingredient is a phytochemical that contains a variety of unique ingredients. Some of these ingredients are believed to offer anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral, antibiotic, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-carcinogenic properties.
There are actually many reasons why turmeric is highly recommended for the daily diet of people. In addition to its possible bone-protective effects, it also has a potential to offer a range of health benefits.
Turmeric powder can be used in preparing different varieties of dishes and beverages. There are many recipes available online that consumers can use to incorporate turmeric in their cooking routines.
There are also supplements available, and one of the possible advantages in using them is that they often contain higher levels of curcumin’s unique properties.
Curcumin supplements are even thought to be a safer alternative to certain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are widely used by arthritis sufferers.
Since the widespread scare in the use of these pain medications, more and more arthritis sufferers have turned to the use of natural alternatives and methods.
To choose the most suitable curcumin supplements, experts recommend products that also contain black pepper extract. Black pepper is believed to work by increasing curcumin absorption inside the body.
