Turmeric – A Yellow Lining of Vitality
Turmeric, a gem in Indian cuisines, a superfood in the spice rack, has been lauded for its flair throughout centuries. The golden spice promises pink of health with its touted health benefits. On account of its versatility, from food, natural dye, and cosmetics to medicines, it has permeated into different sectors of the world. Let us dive headfirst to get some grounding on the realm of turmeric, aka, Indian saffron.
Knock-Knock to Know Curcumin
With close kinship to ginger, turmeric comes from the root of Curcuma Longa. But wondering how turmeric maintains its superior edge? Hidden in the golden hue are three potent curcuminoids, namely – curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, each boasting its wellness tale.
- The Midas Touch of Turmeric
Curcumin, the Midas Touch of Turmeric, has garnered a wide reception for its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, and antioxidant effects. With around 2-8% curcumin content, it offers a brilliant yellow hue entwined in many healthful aspects.
- Pepper Style is Quick Style
Though curcumin is powerful, its absorption into the human bloodstream is rather slow. However, this sluggishness is smoothly countered with the entry of pepper. Black pepper rich in piperine is highly effective in fast-tracking the absorption of curcumin into the bloodstream by a whopping 2000%.
Uncover the Health Benefits of Turmeric
Today, you’ll learn that turmeric brings numerous benefits in various ways. So, brace yourself!
- Anti-inflammatory Gallantry
Turmeric can wield a shield against foreign ambushers and repair damage in the body with its highly anti-inflammatory compounds.
- Treating Arthritis
Anti-inflammatory prowess is not confined to eliminating free radicals. It emerges as a ray of light in treating arthritis as well. Inflammation in the joints is relieved and rheumatoid pains are suppressed.
- Antioxidants Rule
In-store antioxidants reign their command over the harmful free radicals and corner them in a cinch.
- BDNF for Brilliance
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein produced by our body that helps in repairing and maintaining neurons. High levels of BDNF help in improved learning and memorizing. The primary causes of Alzheimer’s and depression are pointed towards deficiency in BDNF levels in our body. The consumption of curcumin combined with daily exercises has shown positive signs in influencing a good mood and improving memory and learning abilities.
- Digestion Elf
From treating digestive disorders with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, and calming and soothing the irritation in the digestive tract, to stimulating the gallbladder to produce more bile, which is essential for the digestion of fats, turmeric is your little elves in the digestive works.
- Cancer Terminator
The age-old adage ‘Prevention is better than cure’ is rightfully befitting at this point. Curcumin possesses qualities that can draw a silver lining in preventing or curing cancer. It prevents the multiplication or spread of cancerous cells, especially, digestive tract cancer.
- Heart Sentinel
Turmeric can promote heart health by gatekeeping cardiovascular diseases. It can protect the lining of blood vessels and combat inflammation and oxidation.
- Skin Mojo
Laden with antiseptic and antibacterial properties, skin problems can say bye-bye. It can checkmate skin issues such as dark circles, acne and breakouts, and scar lines, heal wounds, and promise a healthy and radiant glow. Turmeric is also a constituent of sunscreens and cosmetics as it can diminish the skin damage caused by UV radiation.
- Attack Cataract
Turmeric can relieve eye pain and prevent oxidation of the lens in your eyes. It may be helpful in the treatment of cataracts.
- Flash a confident smile
Filled with antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties, it can provide strong gums and prevent cavities, reassuring your confidence as you step into any room with your beautiful smile!
- Young & Beautiful
Who doesn’t love turtle-paced ageing? Endowed with Vitamin E, it can decelerate the ageing process. Owing to the enmity of antioxidants with free radicals, it builds a rampart against the harmful radicals that cause wrinkles, age spots, and other forms of skin damage. Turmeric is your secret whisperer for anti-ageing and youthful beautiful skin.
- Adieu Diabetes
One of the many purported health benefits is the efficacy of turmeric in controlling the glucose levels in blood which reduces the effects of diabetes on your body.
- Bad Blood with Bad Bones
Osteoporosis is a condition that results in weaker bones that are prone to breaking. Turmeric’s issue of having bad blood with bad bones ensures that the loss of bone minerals is arrested while bone density is maintained. Additionally, curcumin can activate the bone-producing cells.
- Immunity with nutrient legions
Being a cocoon of countless nutrients such as zinc, fibre, iron, niacin, potassium, calcium, and flavonoids among other key nutrients, and replete with antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory properties along with antioxidants, turmeric is braced with necessary ingredients to bolster immunity.
