Curcuma longa, better known as turmeric, has some very potent and beneficial health effects that you may not be aware of. Turmeric has always been known as a powerful anti-inflammatory, but did you know it’s a very strong antioxidant as well!
Turmeric: What You Need to Know
First, lets reveal some important background information and history on turmeric. The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, and, it’s derived from a flowering plant of the ginger family. Turmeric, or curcumin, is the main spice in the Indian dish curry, giving it the “yellowish” color.
Over the past several years, there has been more than 10,000 peer reviewed articles published proving the profound benefits of turmeric! Scientists now believe that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic, Western disease! This stunning finding includes such diseases as heart (cardiovascular disease), cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and various degenerative conditions.
Some recent research suggests turmeric reduces oxidative stress (the pathogenesis of Diabetes) in cases of Diabetes, as well as reducing risk of heart disease. (source: newswire.net/Nov.19,2018)
For turmeric to be beneficial and for you to experience the fullest effects, a high-quality vitamin supplement is needed containing significant amounts of curcumin. Curcumin is somewhat poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, so it helps to consume black pepper with it which contains piperine. This piperine extract substance can enhance the absorption of curcumin by 2000%!
Chiropractic Care and Turmeric
The benefits of chiropractic care in effectively treating chronic pain related conditions and relieving stubborn inflammatory condition symptoms related to musculoskeletal disorders has been well known and documented for years! Safe, effective chiropractic treatments are by far superior to any other form of physical medicine treatments for similar conditions. You can take all the supplementation or prescription pain medicines available, but until you remedy and fix the underlying root cause of the problem that can be causing or contributing to your pain and/or inflammation than it’s all for nill.
Pain and/or inflammation are the results of something else going on, they are resultant symptoms and not the primary cause of your problem or condition most of the time. Chiropractors try to effectively balance the musculoskeletal system, including the muscles, ligaments, joints, and nervous system in an effort to relieve tension and stress and restore proper function. The body needs a clear, un-interfered pathway for the brain to receive nerve impulses and transmit proper bodily responses along the spine and through the nervous system for any normal responsive condition to occur.
Our brain is the “master control” organ from which every internal bodily process occurs and takes place. The brain communicates with the entire body by receiving nerve impulse sensory information and sending motor responses back via the central nervous system (spinal cord). The spinal cord is housed and protected within the spinal column, made up of 24 movable vertebrae. For proper 2-way communication to occur between the brain-body connection, the spine needs to be in proper alignment, free from tension and stress, and without any physical interference. This is where chiropractic shines and can help prevent dysfunction, alleviate nervous system interference, restore proper spinal function, relieve pain and reduce inflammatory conditions whereby promoting healing.
Taking tumeric and seeking safe, natural, effective chiropractic care can possibly prevent a host of chronic conditions from ever forming as well as rehab and correct current ones you may be suffering with now! Only your doctor of chiropractic specializes in diagnosing and treating spinal misalignments which could be causing physical stress and tension on your spine, muscles, ligaments, joints and nervous system leading to dysfunction and dis-ease (lack of homeostasis or balance) within the body and causing your pain and inflammation. Together with a quality recommended turmeric supplement, chiropractic patients have obtained some amazing results and tremendous benefits….safely and effectively!
