Turmeric (Long Oyster, Curcuma longa L.) - a species of perennial herb; native to India; used as a spice; contains a number of biologically active substances called curcuminoids, including curcumin (yellow pigment), desmethylcurcumin and bisdemethylcurcumin. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties, while its derivative desmethylcurcumin has antioxidant (antioxidant; fights free radicals) properties. Turmeric has antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Cancers: Studies have shown that curcumin was capable of inhibiting ovarian cancer tumor growth and angiogenesis - the process of capillary formation in cancer cells. Extensive scientific studies have shown that curcumin clearly slows or completely inhibits the growth of cancer cells. What's more, it improves the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy here, or makes it possible to use lower doses in these therapies. Its effect is particularly strong when combined with other antioxidants such as quercetin.
Digestive system: Turmeric is used to treat a number of gastrointestinal ailments. It counteracts bloating, constipation, feelings of fullness, digestive disorders, inflammation of the gallbladder and bile ducts, and gallstones. Turmeric stimulates the secretion of bile injury facilitates its flow through the bile ducts.
Nervoussystem: curcumin exhibits effective neuroprotective (nerve cell-protecting) effects. Studies have proven its effectiveness in preventing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin improves mood, has an antidepressant effect, and probably inhibits the action of the enzyme monoamine oxidase, whose activity is disproportionately elevated in depressed individuals.
Brain functions: Turmeric contains an important compound for brain health, thumerone, which affects the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells within the brain.
Joints: Turmeric's yellow pigment inhibits degenerative processes within the joints through a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, which is particularly important for those dealing with degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal system, as well as sports and other mechanical injuries.
Adiposetissue: Turmeric facilitates the shedding of unwanted adipose tissue, and also prevents "bodyfat" gain during the process of building muscle mass. This is due to its ability to affect the activity of hormones involved in regulating food intake and energy expenditure, among others, leptin. Curcumin also increases levels of adiponectin, which in turn improves tissue and cellular sensitivity to insulin.
Liver: Scientists in experiments have shown that curcumin can protect liver cells from toxins (hepatoprotective) and can help regenerate this organ.
