Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/27/2015 -- Cardiovascular conditions are considered to be one of the leading causes of death in many countries around the world. Today, people are resorting to measures such as improving their diet and lifestyle just to reduce their risk of heart diseases. The good news is that there is a natural ingredient believed to be helpful for improving the immunity of people against ailments.
Turmeric is a potential natural remedy for atherosclerosis. Turmeric has been used as a natural alternative for a wide variety of conditions for 4,000 years. Today, it is not just a kitchen ingredient that adds color and taste to dishes and beverages, but also a natural alternative.
"There is turmeric powder available, and there are also curcumin supplements," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Curcumin is a phytochemical found in turmeric. It contains a number of therapeutic properties including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. A range of studies and clinical trials have been conducted to see and validate the health benefits offered by the spice.
According to studies, turmeric has the potential ability to prevent atherosclerosis. Plaque buildup can block arteries, and when this happens it could result in a stroke or heart attack. Animal-based studies have revealed that turmeric extract has successfully reduced cholesterol levels and prevented bad cholesterol buildup in the blood vessels. Turmeric is believed to help keep platelets from clumping together, and thus, it can prevent blood clots in the walls of the arteries.
To reiterate, atherosclerosis causes hardening and clogging of the arteries. When the arteries in the heart are affected, coronary heart disease can takes place, and this typically results in chest pain, shortness of breath, perspiration, weakness, and heart attack.
According to statistics, atherosclerosis causes nearly 75 percent of all heart-related deaths. Plaque buildup in the arterial walls is often caused by excess fat, cholesterol, and calcium. Plaque hardening causes the arteries to become inflexible and hard. The risk factors of the condition are obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, and lack of exercise, among others.
Today, there are many measures recommended by experts to reduce one's risk of heart diseases. The most popular preventive measure is an improvement in diet and lifestyle. There are also natural alternatives such as curcumin supplements that are used by many people to improve their immunity against conditions such as heart disease.
While curcumin has many therapeutic effects, it nonetheless has low bioavailability, which limits its absorption inside the body. Curcumin supplements with a bioavailability enhancing ingredient such as BioPerine are highly recommended. BioPerine is a black pepper extract that is believed to help increase curcumin absorption inside the body (amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI).
