There are countless over-the-counter medications and health products designed to alleviate these problems, many with questionable results. Yet a powerful way to deal with these issues has been around for thousands of years―it’s that bright-yellow root spice turmeric. In this article, we’ll discover the power of this amazing spice with the top ten benefits of adding turmeric to your diet.</p> </section> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium mx-auto"> <section> <section id="section1"> <header>Where does Turmeric Come From?</header> <picture class="lazy-load"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/turmeric-powder-in-clay-pot-0028.webp" type="image/webp"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/turmeric-powder-in-clay-pot-0028.jpf" type="image/jpf"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/turmeric-powder-in-clay-pot-0028.jpg"> <img src="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/turmeric-powder-in-clay-pot-LR-0028.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="turmeric-powder"> </picture> <p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.warriormade.com/content/diet/turmeric-and-ginger-powerful-pain-fighting-duo/">Turmeric</a> (or <i>Curcuma longa</i>) is a perennial herbaceous plant that is closely related to ginger. It is native to the southwest of India and has been a staple of Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medicine for the past four thousand years. The spice arrived in China around 700 C.E. and then slowly made its way to the West. Only in recent times, however, have Americans come to appreciate the natural health benefits of turmeric and its active compound curcumin. In the last twenty-five years, there have been more than three thousand studies<sup>1</sup> published that reveal the many benefits of this amazing food. Here are ten of the top findings: </p> </section> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium mx-auto"> <section> <section id="section2"> <header>Benefit #1: Turmeric as an Inflammation Fighter</header> <picture class="lazy-load"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/knee-brace-held-0028.webp" type="image/webp"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/knee-brace-held-0028.jpf" type="image/jpf"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/knee-brace-held-0028.jpg"> <img src="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/knee-brace-held-LR-0028.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="knee-brace"> </picture> <p><Inflammation causes pain and discomfort to millions of people every minute of the day. Many people choose to treat it with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, yet these treatments carry all sorts of health risks. Turmeric, which contains the anti-inflammatory substance curcumin, has been found to be completely free of side effects and is the logical choice for those wanting to experience the health benefits of an effective inflammation fighter. </p> <p>There are chemical compounds in turmeric that act along with vitamins and minerals in the body to fight inflammation. As we’ve mentioned, the most important is curcumin<sup>2</sup>. Curcumin is what gives the spice its yellow-orange color. It is also what gives it its anti-inflammatory properties. According to a 2014 article in <i>Clinical Interventions in Aging</i>, curcumin is able to provide inflammation-boosting effects that are equal to those provided by synthetic alternatives. </p> <p>Dr. Randy J. Horwitz, the medical director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, wrote a paper for the Academy of Integrative Pain Management<sup>3</sup> in which he discussed the health benefits of turmeric and curcumin. Dr. Horwitz stated, “Turmeric is one of the most potent anti-inflammatories available.” </p> <p>Turmeric can be used as both a topical or an oral inflammation treatment. Powdered turmeric can be applied to an area of swelling with a compress. When taken orally, as either a powder or capsule, it prevents inflammation in cells, tissues, and muscles. Applied topically, it can even bring relief to sprains, joint inflammation, and delayed-onset muscle soreness.</p> </section> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium mx-auto"> <section> <section id="section3"> <header>Benefit #2: Turmeric’s Effect on Alzheimer’s</header> <picture class="lazy-load"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/neuron-connection-0028.webp" type="image/webp"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/neuron-connection-0028.jpf" type="image/jpf"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/neuron-connection-0028.jpg"> <img src="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/bowl-of-almond-milk-yellow-towel-LR-0161.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="neuron-connection-LR-0028.jpg"> </picture> <p>Alzheimer’s disease affects some forty-four million people around the world. It has a debilitating effect on the brain, devouring brain tissue and severely damaging the nervous system. There has been some exciting recent scientific research showing that all-natural phytochemicals (chemical compounds found in plants and food) such as curcumin can relieve symptoms of Alzheimer’s with fewer side effects and better results than conventional treatments. </p> <p>The blood-brain barrier is what separates the blood that circulates around the body from the brain fluid that flows through the nervous system. The blood-brain barrier stops potentially damaging molecules from interfering with the functioning of the brain. Conventional medical treatments are not able to pass through the blood-brain barrier, but curcumin, this amazing phytochemical contained in turmeric, <i>can</i> pass through that barrier. This allows curcumin to travel directly to the areas of the brain where it is needed to fight the effects of Alzheimer’s. </p> <p>Once in the brain, curcumin clears out the harmful protein deposits that have been associated with Alzheimer’s-related neurological deterioration. A 2008 metastudy<sup>4</sup> that was published in the Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology concluded, after analyzing a large number of studies, that . . .</p> <p><i>“...curcumin will lead to a promising treatment for Alzheimer's disease [AD]. The clinically studied chemical properties of curcumin and its various effects on AD shows the possibility to do further research and develop better drugs based on curcumin for treating AD.”</i></p> <p>Taking just one teaspoon of turmeric each day, either grated as a food, or powder form, will provide a dose of curcumin to give you a great boost in your fight against Alzheimer’s.</p> </section> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium mx-auto"> <section> <section id="section4"> <header>Benefit #3: Tumeric’s Ability to Regulate Blood Sugar</header> <picture class="lazy-load"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/measuring-blood-sugar-0028.webp" type="image/webp"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/measuring-blood-sugar-0028.jpf" type="image/jpf"> <source data-srcset="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/measuring-blood-sugar-0028.jpg"> <img src="https://d1ghrtdbdq2gkr.cloudfront.net/blog-content/measuring-blood-sugar-LR-0028.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="measuring-blood-sugar"> </picture> <p>Maintaining a steady, consistent rate of blood sugar is essential to virtually every function, process, and procedure in your body. Erratic blood sugar levels cause us to feel anxious, kills our energy levels, and makes it impossible for us to focus. A lot of research has gone into determining whether the main chemical compound in turmeric, curcumin, is able to create health benefits such as regulating blood sugar levels. The results are quite conclusive that it can. </p> <p>In a study that was published in Diabetes Care magazine, 240 patients who had been diagnosed with prediabetes were given 300 milligrams of curcumin per day.

Turmeric has been shown to do all of these things. As a result, your ability to burn fat will be enhanced when you take this super spice. </p> <p>A study<sup>5</sup> performed at Tufts University subjected mice to a high-carb diet in order to gain weight. Half of the mice were given a turmeric supplement. This group ended up 10 percent slimmer than the control group.

Fillers and binders are often added to supplements to make the main ingredient go further. So, look for 100 percent pure labeling.</p> <section id="section13.2"> <div class="sub-head"><i>Make sure that it is manufactured in the USA...</i></div> <p>When a supplement is manufactured in the USA, you are guaranteed that it has gone through a certified Good Manufacturing Process (GMP). Imported supplements are often manufactured in substandard facilities. In the case of turmeric, many of them will not follow the recommended ratio of 10:1 (turmeric to curcumin). This will severely reduce the health benefits. USA-based manufacturing processes guarantee quality control and hygienic manufacturing.</p> <section id="section13.3"> <div class="sub-head"><i>Check whether the supplement contains Curcumin C3 Complex.</i></div> <p>Some conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause gastrointestinal side effects. However, by including the clinically proven Curcumin C3 Complex that acts as an effective bio protector, you will be able to remove the unpleasant side effects that you may experience if using supplements that do not contain this additive.</p> <section id="section13.4"> <div class="sub-head"><i>Does the supplement contain piperine?</i></div> <p>Piperine is an extract that comes from a black pepper in southern India. Piperine has been extensively studied in the United States. It has been proven to dramatically increase the absorption of curcumin extract. When added to a turmeric curcumin supplement, it allows curcumin to be more readily absorbed into the body. Without piperine, the absorption of the supplement into your body will be negatively affected. Much of the turmeric will pass right through your system, preventing you from benefiting from its many health-giving properties. </p> </section> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium mx-auto"> <section> <section id="section14"> <header>The Bottom Line</header> <p>The ancient Eastern practice of using turmeric as an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving remedy has been resoundingly verified by recent medical studies.
