Can Turmeric Replace Painkillers?
Did you know that according to the Clinical Journal of Pharmacy and Therapeutics, turmeric appears to be a possible candidate as a stand-alone analgesic (pain reliever) or used in combination to reduce pharmaceutical use?
Furthermore, a review of the research on curcumin in the journal Advanced Biomedical Research found that curcumin possesses powerful anti-inflammatory activity.
The Hidden Danger of Inflammation
Inflammation has been linked to the top killers around the world. Regardless of the amount of cholesterol and fats in your blood stream, if you lower inflammation, your risk of heart disease goes down.
Chronic inflammation is also directly linked to:
-
Cancer
-
Cognitive decline conditions (such as Alzheimer’s and dementia)
-
Asthma and Bronchitis
-
Malaria
-
Hypertension
-
Obesity
-
Liver problems
Turmeric vs. Curcumin: Supplement Tips
Just as an apple has water, fructose (fruit sugar), fiber, vitamins, and lots of other molecules in it, turmeric also has other ingredients. One of the most active ingredients in turmeric is curcumin.
Shopping Tip: If you are looking for supplements, you will probably find bottles labeled as both turmeric and curcumin. Do not buy both.
3 Ways to Improve Absorption
One of the main problems with turmeric is that it is poorly absorbed by the body. Here are three ways to fix that:
-
Add turmeric to a meal with fat: Fat enhances absorption. The liver typically blocks the absorption, but the fat helps the turmeric to bypass the liver.
-
Take turmeric with pepper: A molecule in pepper called piperine can prevent the liver from excreting the turmeric. According to nutritionfacts.com, just 1/20th of a teaspoon of pepper can increase bioavailability by 2000%!
-
Take turmeric in its whole or powdered form: Choosing the whole root or powder rather than just an isolated curcumin supplement helps, because the natural oils in the turmeric root also aid in the absorption.
How to Add It to Your Diet
Look for creative ways to add turmeric to your current diet. For example, you can add it to scrambled eggs with a pinch of pepper. There are lots of recipes that use turmeric, so a little hunting and creativity can add this valuable addition to your diet.
