Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2015 -- Turmeric is an ancient, medicinal spice that is popularized by the powerful therapeutic substances it contains, with its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The spice is believed to reduce the risk of a wide variety of conditions, including diabetes.
Turmeric is potentially helpful in delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes. The spice has long been a popular kitchen ingredient that adds taste and color to dishes and beverages. It is also used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to fight a variety of medical conditions.
"The healing effects of turmeric are believed to come from its phytochemical called curcumin. Today, there are curcumin supplements available in the market for consumers," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
In folk medicine, the spice has been used as a remedy for everything from depression to ringworm to liver problems. While it has long been used as a natural remedy in villages from different areas around the world, an increasing number of researchers and scientists are conducting studies and clinical trials to validate its health benefits. Many of these studies found that the spice has helped reduce the risk of certain ailments.
In a 2012 study, prediabetic individuals were given curcumin supplements. It was found that those who took curcumin experienced a delay in the onset of Type 2 diabetes. Sixteen percent of individuals who belonged to the placebo group were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, but those who took the supplement were not diagnosed with the condition. Researchers believe that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin have helped reduce the risk of the subjects.
Turmeric is not only believed to reduce the risk of diabetes, but also to curb symptoms of heartburn and indigestion. It is even found to be helpful in preventing heart attacks among individuals who underwent bypass surgery.
Curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties are believed to be very helpful for fighting a range of preventable diseases. Curcumin supplements are even used by many arthritis sufferers who want to achieve pain relief and improved mobility. There are also those who take curcumin to address other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and liver problems.
While curcumin is one of the most popular natural alternatives nowadays, it is also known for having low bioavailability. Experts recommend that individuals who want to choose the best curcumin supplements choose a product that has a bioavailability enhancing ingredient, such as BioPerine. This 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).
