Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/25/2016 -- Conditions, such as liver cirrhosis, are one of the health problems that are placing many people in a life-threatening situation. There are pharmaceutical drugs available for the condition. However, for individuals who are wondering whether there is a natural alternative for the condition, then they may look into a spice called turmeric.
Liver Cirrhosis sufferers may benefit from the use of curcumin. Curcumin is an active ingredient or a polyphenol of the ancient, medicinal spice, turmeric. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, among others. This phytochemical is believed to be helpful in the health of the liver that is deteriorating.
Cirrhosis is a disease that slowly progresses, and that develops when the liver tissue turns into a scar tissue. When this happens, the liver starts to function improperly. The blood flow in the liver is interrupted by the scar tissue. This scar tissue is also believed to slow the processing of nutrients, hormones, drugs, and naturally produced toxins down. This condition also delays protein production as well as other essential substances in the liver.
The liver is one of the most important organs in the body. It produces blood proteins that are vital for the function of the immune system. It also stores excess nutrients and route them back to the bloodstream. It also has a role in the digestive system as it manufactures bile, which is vital for food digestion. The liver also takes care of eliminating drugs, alcohol, and other harmful substances from the blood stream.
According to the National Institutes of Health, liver cirrhosis is on the 12th top place in the list of the major causes of death by disease. Experts recommend increased intake of vitamins and minerals from therapeutic foods and spices such as turmeric to reduce the risk of liver damage. The anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin is believed to help improve overall liver health.
In an animal-based, Mexican study, it was found that the rats treated with curcumin have experienced increased protection of the liver from the carbon tetrachloride induced damage. It was found that curcumin helped inhibit NF-kappaB activation, and this resulted in the liver protection from acute damage. There was also an animal-based study that found curcumin has helped delay the progression or onset of liver cirrhosis.
Curcumin supplements are extremely popular nowadays. Their use is associated with a myriad of health benefits. Curcumin is extremely popular among individuals with arthritis. The most popular curcumin supplements are those that contain a bioavailability enhancing ingredient such as BioPerine, which is a black pepper extract (amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
