(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 31, 2015 ) Orlando, Florida -- The need to practice a healthy diet and lifestyle has been catching the attention of millions of people nowadays. This is due to the high prevalence of medical conditions that can be prevented by eating healthy food. There are also natural ingredients such as turmeric and black pepper that are becoming more and more popular today.
Experts reveal the possible therapeutic benefits of using a combination of turmeric and black pepper. The key ingredient called curcumin in turmeric, and piperine in black pepper are believed to play a major role in the therapeutic benefits they offer.
According to some experts, piperine works by triggering the transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 or TRPV1 in the body, and this aids in pain reduction. The black pepper extract is even used as a topical cream to help relieve pain. Curcumin, on the other hand, has been widely studied for the anti-inflammatory properties it contains. It is even believed to be very effective in helping individuals with rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions in achieving pain relief.
A study was conducted to see the potential anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin when it is used on a long-term basis. It was found that curcumin could be used for chronic neurodegenerative diseases combined with lower doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The University of Michigan conducted a study that found the combination of black pepper and turmeric could target breast stem cells. The researchers injected a potent solution of curcumin and piperine to cancer cells. The solution was 20 times stronger than the amount of the said ingredients usually consumed through food. It was found that the compounds target the self-renewal of breast stem cells, which interrupted the hallmark of cancer development.
There are many benefits associated with the use of a combination of curcumin and black pepper. According to some studies, both of these natural ingredients can help fight diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol levels. Other benefits include relief from the gastric mucosal damage due to peptic ulcers. Curcumin does this by preventing the growth of helicobacter pylori bacteria that causes peptic ulcers. Piperine also offers some protective capabilities.
Curcumin and piperine has antioxidant benefits, and they are believed to be helpful in improving memory loss, as well as in providing protection from cognitive impairment usually caused by Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Both black pepper and turmeric are considered to be safe to use and have been very popular kitchen and medicinal ingredients for thousands of years (http://amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
