Health Advantages of Turmeric

A number of scientific research have been conducted on urmeric and its constituents, notably curcumin.

Brown notes, "some research indicates that when eating turmeric in recipes, people with osteoarthritis reported less joint pain." There has been some investigation into the potential benefits of turmeric for mood disorders, depression, and dementia; however, the size of the studies has limited the findings.

1.  The herb has essential oils like cineole, turmerone, zingiberene, and p-cymene that are good for your health.
2. This traditional herb has no cholesterol, but it is high in dietary fiber and antioxidants that help lower blood levels of low-density lipoproteins, or "bad cholesterol."
3. There's plenty of vitamin C in the fresh root. There are 23.9 mg of this vitamin in 100 g. As a potent natural antioxidant and water-soluble vitamin, C aids in the development of the body's defenses against infections and the elimination of dangerous free oxygen radicals.
4. It is an excellent source of numerous important vitamins, including riboflavin, choline, niacin, and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). One hundred grams of herb has 1.80 mg of pyridoxine, or 138% of the daily required amount. Pyridoxine is used to treat radiation sickness, sideroblastic anemia, and homocystinuria. Niacin aids in dermatitis or "pellagra" prevention.
5. Good concentrations of minerals, including calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, and magnesium, are found in turmeric. Potassium is a crucial component of bodily fluids and cells that aids in blood pressure and heart rate regulation. Manganese is used by the human body to co-factor the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Red blood cell (RBC) synthesis and cytochrome oxidase enzyme activity at the cellular level depend on iron as a co-factor.
6. It has been discovered that curcumin and other antioxidants have anti-inflammatory and anti-amyloid qualities. As a result, it helps to postpone the beginning of Alzheimer's disease or prevent it altogether.
7. It is a low-cholesterol root plant that is rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber. When combined, they lower the risk of stroke and coronary artery disease and help control blood cholesterol.
