Tumeric, The Natural Anti Inflammatory and Amazing Health Aid

February 26, 2015 by Adria Ali 1 Comment

 

Tumeric is a powerful anti inflammatory as well as a wonderful aid in everyday health.   The benefits of tumeric go on and on but it’s most commonly used for issues in the body that have reoccurring inflammation and pain.  As we age, inflammation in the body begins to mount.  This could be due to digestive issues, previous injury’s, toxin build up, not drinking enough water, and stress.  While food can heal our body it also has the ability to break it down.  Sadly, in today’s society, it can be one of thee biggest contributors to toxins and inflammation.

If you aren’t sure what tumeric is, you’ve probably already eaten it as part of an Indian dish.   It is what gives curry it’s yellow coloring.  It’s been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and for it’s medicinal properties.

Benefits of Tumeric and Curcumin

Powerful Bio-active Ingredients and Medicinal Properties

The most important property in Tumeric are the curcuminoids, which are also known as curcumin.   It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.  Although tumeric contains curcumin, many supplement companies refine this ingredient and sell it on it’s own.  They also perform all their testing on the curcumin.     Tumeric contains about 3% of this active ingredient.

Therefore if you want to make sure you are getting the full affects, you would want take a supplement that is mainly made of curcumin.

Fitness Tips:  Curcumin is best absorbed when mixed with pepper and oil.  Pepper contains peperine, which binds with curcumin to help the body absorb it.  Perperin, increases absporption by up to 2000% (source).   Eating or swallowing a pepper corn with your daily curcumin will make all the difference.  

Curcumin is also FAT SOLUBLE – so taking it with oils and fats helps it digest.  

We love our brand of curcumin which we sell in the Fit Tip Store because it’s already paired with oils in the formula.  Therefore you don’t have to worry about taking it with other oils.

Here’s What Makes The Fit Tip Store Product stand out above the rest!

A NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT THAT SUPPORTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM IN AMAZING WAYS

  • Because powdered forms of curcumin can be limited, our 95% curcuminoid compound includes medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) mixed with extra-virgin olive oil to increase bioavailability and absorption.
  • Curcumin is derived from turmeric, a culinary spice, and is one of nature’s antioxidants.*

WHAT CAN CURCUMIN HELP ME WITH?

  • Maintain cellular health and function*
  • Support healthy response to stress*
  • Support the immune system*
  • Promote mental clarity and focus*
  • Support memory and retention*

WHY ARE MCTS AND EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL INCLUDED?

Curcumin is not readily absorbable in its natural form. However, Jigsaw Health provides Curcumin mixed with Medium Chain Triglycerides (or MCTs for short) and extra virgin olive oil to increase absorption. In this 95% curcuminoid form, our Curcumin becomes highly bioavailable, more so than any other form available today (source).

 

Tumeric is a Powerful Anti Inflammatory

Inflammation plays a very important role in the body.  Without it, our immune systems wouldn’t be able to fight bacteria and disease.  While inflammation can be a good thing, too much of it for too long can be negative.

It is now believed that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic, Western disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and various degenerative conditions (4, 5, 6).

Curcumin actually targets multiple steps in the inflammatory pathway, at the molecular level.

Curcumin blocks NF-kB, a molecule that travels into the nuclei of cells and turns on genes related to inflammation. NF-kB is believed to play a major role in many chronic diseases (8, 9).

Chronic inflammation has been linked to many of the diseases that plague America.

 

Turmeric Increases Antioxidant Capacity of The Body

The main reason antioxidants are so beneficial, is that they protect our bodies from free radicals.

Curcumin happens to be a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure (15, 16).

But curcumin also boosts the activity of the body’s own antioxidant enzymes (17, 18,19).

In that way, curcumin delivers a one-two punch against free radicals. It blocks them directly, then stimulates the body’s own antioxidant mechanisms.

What Disorders does Tumeric and Curcumin Help

Cancer 

Curcumin leads to several changes on the molecular level that may help prevent and perhaps even treat cancer.

Alzheimer’s 

Curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier and has been shown to lead to various improvements in the pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease.

Arthritis 

Arthritis is a common disorder characterized by joint inflammation. Many studies show that curcumin can help treat symptoms of arthritis and is in some cases more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs.

Depression 

A study in 60 depressed patients showed that curcumin was as effective as prozac in alleviating the symptoms of depression. (source).

 

With benefits like these, why wouldn’t you take tumeric ?  Make sure you use a reputable brand, that can make all the difference!  You can buy our favorite band here in the store.   If you know someone who is plagued with chronic inflammation and health issues, make sure you forward this article to them.  Life’s too short to be sick, inflamed and in pain!
