Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/04/2015 -- Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts are regularly engaged in strenuous physical activities, and this is why they need to ensure that they are in a good shape. Having a healthy diet and lifestyle is one of the best things that people can do to improve their immunity and protect their body, especially their joints. For individuals who are engaged in highly physical activities, learning about a particular medicinal spice is highly recommended.
Turmeric is an excellent addition in the diet of hikers. Many hikers rely on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to achieve pain relief. These pharmaceutical drugs are typically taken during or after training or competitions. While these medications offer pain relief, their effects are only temporary. What makes them even more disadvantageous is that their use is associated with side effects.
"Turmeric is used as a safer natural alternative to pain relief drugs. Today, individuals with arthritis or those who engage in physical activities rely on curcumin supplements," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
The healing effects of turmeric are believed to come from its phytochemical called curcumin. Curcumin is popularized by the number of powerful therapeutic substances in contains. This phytochemical is believed to contain anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties.
Hikers spend an enormous amount of time hiking long distances, and this substantially places a lot of stress on their bodies, especially their joints. Inflammation is one of the most common consequences of hiking. There are many factors that trigger inflammation, such as diet and exercise.
Curcumin's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are believed to help reduce inflammation. These therapeutic properties are believed to increase one's immunity against a myriad of diseases. Having an anti-inflammatory diet is highly recommended for hikers. An inflammatory diet pertains to an eating regimen that does not include the consumption of dairy, processed meat, and other inflammatory foods. It also includes increased consumption of anti-inflammatory foods and spices such as turmeric.
According to research, incorporating curcumin in one's diet can significantly help improve soreness, stiffness, and overall well-being. Curcumin has long been believed to be a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient, and is used as a supplement by many arthritis sufferers and athletes.
Hikers can take advantage of the curcumin supplements available in the market today. While curcumin is loaded with a variety of healing properties, it has low bioavailability. This limits its absorption inside the body. Curcumin supplements with a black pepper extract such as BioPerine are highly recommended. BioPerine takes care of delivering an increased amount of curcumin's healing properties inside the body (http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI).
