(Health-NewsWire.Net, October 20, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Today, consumption of healthy foods and beverages has become a popular move for many individuals who want to improve their overall health. There are also those who practice regular exercise on a daily basis, and take supplements such as turmeric. There are many therapeutic effects believed to be offered by the spice, and this claim is supported by a variety of scientific studies.
Experts reveal the top reasons to consume turmeric every day. This spice has been used for thousands of years as a kitchen ingredient, and for medicinal purposes. Nowadays, it has become a very popular nutritional supplement, especially among individuals who are suffering from certain conditions or who are trying to increase their immunity against ailments.
"There are actually over 1,000 animal and human based studies conducted to explore the therapeutic effects of turmeric," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Turmeric contains a phytochemical called curcumin, which is believed to be responsible for its therapeutic effects. One of the most popular healing substances of turmeric is its anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric can act as a natural anti-inflammatory agent, and is believed to fight diseases, including the life-threatening ones, that are linked with inflammation. These conditions include arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer, and signs of aging. Experts believe that anything that reduces inflammation can also lessen the risk of these diseases.
There have been studies that revealed turmeric is as effective or even more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs. The spice is considered to be one of the top anti-inflammatory foods in the world, and is believed to target multiple steps in the inflammatory pathway. It is not surprising that many individuals who suffer from arthritis pain are relying on the spice.
According to Bharat Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Experimental Therapeutics, to his knowledge, no cancer has ever been found to not be affected by curcumin. Curcumin is believed to also be effective against cancer because it hits not one but multiple targets of cell signaling pathways linked with cancer.
Taking turmeric on a daily basis is highly recommended. Studies found that it helps lower cholesterol, and results in the reduced risk of heart disease. There were also population studies that showed the cases of Alzheimer's disease are lower among Indian Asians who consume turmeric on a daily basis.
It has become very easy these days to consume turmeric. There are many curcumin supplements available in the market for consumers to choose from. Experts recommend the use of curcumin supplements with a bioavailability enhancing property such as BioPerine, which is a black pepper extract (amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI).
