A member of the ginger family, turmeric has long been called\u00a0<em>\u201choly powder\u201d<\/em>\u00a0because of its medicinal benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Through the years, thousands of peer reviewed articles and studies have dug into the benefits this spice has to offer. And from working as\u00a0an anti-inflammatory\u00a0to beat inflammation to helping control blood sugar, there are many science-backed reasons to spice up your life with turmeric.<\/p>\n<h2>Turmeric Proves to Be as Powerful as Anti-Inflammatory Medication<\/h2>\n<p>Curcumin, the active ingredient found in this spice is what offers most of the turmeric benefits. It\u2019s been widely studied, and researchers have discovered that it works as a powerful anti-inflammatory.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when it was studied alongside other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and\u00a0aspirin, it came out near the top.\u00a0 Results showed that curcumin, was more potent at fighting inflammation than ibuprofen and aspirin and just as powerful as antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory agents as prescription medicines tamoxifen and celecoxib.<\/p>\n<p>Other studies have looked deeper into the ability of curcumin to reduce inflammation, digging into its ability to treat\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s disease. The progression of Alzheimer\u2019s has been linked to chronic inflammation, and some studies show promise in the anti-inflammatory power of turmeric\u2019s ability to help slow and even reverse this disease, reducing Alzheimer\u2019s symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>Proven to Combat Arthritis, Diabetes and Renal Disease<\/h2>\n<p>In the past few years, science has found even more benefits to this \u201cgolden powder,\u201d as well. Once again, it\u2019s ability to fight inflammation makes it an excellent treatment for individuals with osteoarthritis, another of the turmeric benefits.<\/p>\n<p>In one study, when curcumin was administered for three months to patients with osteoarthritis, they saw\u00a0<strong>significant improvement in joint function and a reduction in joint pain<\/strong>, and turmeric is well tolerated by patients.<\/p>\n<p>Another study looked at the effects of curcumin on diabetes and renal function in individuals with diabetes. When given tetrahydrocurcumin, test subjects saw not only an increase in plasma insulin levels, but a significant reduction in blood sugar levels, too. Regular treatment with tetrahydrocurcumin also helped to bring renal markers back to nearly normal, decreasing levels of creatine, uric acid, and urea.<\/p>\n<p>Other science-backed turmeric benefits include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reducing the risk of heart disease<\/li>\n<li>Preventing and potentially even treating cancer<\/li>\n<li>Protecting against and treating depression<\/li>\n<li>Anti-aging benefits<\/li>\n<li>Shows promise in cholesterol regulation<\/li>\n<li>Fighting age-related chronic diseases<\/li>\n<li>Improves skin health and proves useful in treating skin conditions<\/li>\n<li>Reduces the risk of blood clots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although you can reap turmeric benefits by consuming more in your diet (think eating more curry or turmeric tea), the best way to take advantage of this spice is to take a curcumin supplement. This way you ensure you\u2019re getting enough of the active ingredient to reap all the health benefits.<\/p>\n<p><em>Republished from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalhealth365.com\/\">NaturalHealth365<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Sources for this article include:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/15489888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NIH.gov<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/top-10-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-turmeric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Healthline.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21194249\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NIH.gov<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17845505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NIH.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-joy-jensen\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/default-user.png\" alt=\"Joy Jensen\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turmeric is the main spice used in the Indian spice curry, and it\u2019s considered one of the most powerful herbs for\u00a0fighting inflammation\u00a0and disease.\u00a0 Curcumin, the active ingredient found in turmeric<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1898919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1735983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1735983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1735983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1735983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1898919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1735983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1735983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1735983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
