(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 27, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Turmeric is an ancient, medicinal spice that has been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Today, it is a popular natural remedy for fighting a wide variety of medical conditions, including those that affect the elderly population.
A study reveals turmeric is an excellent brain food for Alzheimer-free aging. Dementia and Alzheimer's are among the most common bran health problems today. As a matter of fact, they are considered to be a global concern.
According to experts, individuals who are 60 years old and above are more likely to experience a decline in memory capacity, cognitive skills, and brain structure changes. Longevity can result in the amyloid plaque accumulation, and this can include some vascular dementia damage. Thus, experts believe that lifestyle choices are essential for having a brain-deprived or brain-derived life.
"Turmeric contains a powerful phytochemical called curcumin. This natural ingredient is believed to contain healing substances such as anti-tumor, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties," said Divine Bounty spokesperson, Melissa Scott.
In a study, the researchers aimed at determining the measurable cognitive benefits of turmeric in the aging process. According to them, plants are deemed as chemical factories that have the ability to produce incredible numbers of diverse bioactive substances. Many of these substances have the potential to produce substantial neuroprotective benefits.
Wellington Pham, Ph.D., assistant professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and Biomedical Engineering, says curcumin has displayed its ability in entering the brain, as well as in binding and destroying the beta-amyloid plaques typically present with individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Pham is also the senior author of the study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
Today, there are curcumin supplements available in the market, and they can even be purchased online. These natural alternatives are widely used by individuals who suffer from a variety of conditions such as arthritis. According to experts, curcumin contains properties that may be helpful in the treatment for brain diseases.
While curcumin is believed to have a myriad of health benefits, it also has low bioavailability, which reduces its absorption inside the body. Curcumin can be used best in combination with a bioavailability enhancing ingredient, such as BioPerine, which is a black pepper extract.
Today, many of the best curcumin supplements contain BioPerine. Experts recommend that consumers choose curcumin supplements with BioPerine. When these two ingredients are combined, more health benefits are delivered. This means curcumin supplements with BioPerine have the advantage of delivering more therapeutic substances inside the body (amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Extract-Vegetarian/dp/B00VSVKJ8I/).
