Turmeric is an ancient ayurvedic medicine that has been used for
centuries throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia. It is a powerful
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Therefore, it can help fight a
number of chronic health conditions from heart disease and diabetes to
dementia. Turmeric has been found to reduce the cellular inflammation
and oxidative stress that causes degenerative disease. It improves blood
flow, leading to improved cognitive function and speeds wound healing.
Did you know that less than a teaspoon a day of
turmeric appears to significantly lower the DNA mutating ability of
cancer-causing substances?
Researchers at UCLA found
that curcumin (the primary component in turmeric) proved these
cancer-blocking properties during a study which involved 21 participants
suffering from head and neck cancers. The participants were given two
chewable curcumin tablets containing 1,000 milligrams of the substance
each. After evaluating the results, the lab found that the enzymes in
the patients’ mouths responsible for promoting cancer spread and growth
were inhibited by the curcumin supplementation. Thus, curcumin intake
halted the spread of the malignant cells.
A recent study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention,
for instance, found that a dose-dependent administration of curcumin
effectively activated apoptosis of liver cancer cells, meaning it
prompted these harmful cells to die.
A study
back in 1987 studied the effects of curcumin on the mutagenicity (DNA
mutating ability) of several toxins and found that curcumin was an
effective antimutagen against several environmental and standard
mutagenic and cancer-causing substances.
