Good Day!! I hope you are well!!
Turmeric (curcuma longa) has been used for cleansing the liver and anti-inflammatory properties since the beginning for hundreds of years. Turmeric originated in India and is a main staple of the Indian diet. Turmeric is part of the ginger family. Turmeric has been used in Indian Ayurveda medicine for at least 6000 years to treat people of all ages of many illnesses.
The active ingredient in Turmeric is Curcumin. Curcumin has many benefits to promote health and life. The anti inflammatory properties of Turmeric help to increase blood circulation preventing blood clots and hardening of the arteries by dilating the blood vessels. Turmeric contains a chemical enzyme called Lipopolysaccharide which stimulates the body’s proper immune response, thus eliminating chronic inflammation in its tracks.
Turmeric also improves brain function by increasing a chemical called the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This increase in BDNF improves the brains function by allowing neurons to split/divide and multiply safely within the brain. It also helps to lower risk of brain disease. A lack of BDNF has been shown to cause depression and alzheimer’s.
Turmeric is very helpful for keep your weight under control. Many components in the turmeric stimulate the gall bladder production of bile. This improves digestion, improves breakdown of dietary fat & reduces symptoms of bloating and gas. Someone who is overweight has many cells around the belly and other areas which are inflamed and called fat. This can be caused by poor food quality, too much stress, too much alcohol or too much sugar. However these symptoms can be put into remission with supplementing turmeric into your diet.
Turmeric has been shown to help with cancer, leukemia and HIV. The cells associated with these sicknesses are put into remission and the symptoms start to subside after 3 days of supplementing with turmeric. Not only does it cause these diseases to go into remission it also protects against and prevents the tumor cells associated with these illnesses.
