The Health Benefits of Turmeric

July 18, 2016 By Connie Odom

Metro MediSpa turmeric supplementsTurmeric is a spice that is used quite extensively in different cuisines around the world, and research is showing that it may have the potential to help the body in numerous ways.  It’s always nice when science backs up what some cultures have known for centuries, as it gives it some added clout that it actually works. Here are some of the health benefits of turmeric.

1. Helps to Prevent Cancer

Perhaps the most convincing reason to start incorporating turmeric into your life is the way it helps the body fend off cancer formation and growth. It has been shown to help with a number of different cancers, stopping the spread throughout the body and the growth of the tumor in question.

To get this benefit you can simply start consuming more turmeric, or you can use a turmeric supplement if it doesn’t seem likely that you will cook more with it.

2. Eases Arthritis Symptoms

If you suffer from arthritis pain you may want to consider adding more turmeric to your daily diet, as it has been shown to help ease the pain associated from arthritis thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

3. Soothes Upset Stomach

Turmeric has long been used as a quick and effective cure for an upset stomach. This is one of those benefits that has been known for generations, but only recently has science come along to back it up.

Because turmeric acts as an anti-inflammatory, it helps to keep stomach acid from getting out of control, and has been shown to soothe heartburn as well as general stomach upset.

4. Helps Prevent Prostate Cancer

We’ve already discussed how turmeric is helpful with cancer in general, but there is very promising research showing that it can go a long way in the fight against prostate cancer.  Since prostate cancer will affect many men, it’s perhaps one of the most convincing reasons to get more turmeric in your life.

5. Helps the Heart Stay Healthy

Your heart is vital to your everyday health and longevity, and it’s important to keep it functioning at the best of its abilities. Turmeric can help in several ways, including preventing strokes and heart attacks.

6. It’s a Natural Fat Burner

One of the more widely known benefits of turmeric is its ability to help the body burn fat. That’s why it’s being recommended more and more as a dietary aid when trying to lose weight.

The best part of adding more turmeric to your diet in order to lose fat is that it helps to flavor most any dish, and it’s all natural so you won’t have to turn to dangerous fat loss pills or crash diets.

7. Helps in Preventing Alzheimer’s

It’s amazing to think that and herb or spice can have an effect on the function of your brain, but research has shown that debilitating conditions such as Alzheimer’s can be prevented and treated with turmeric.

In order to get these benefits you’ll need to take turmeric supplements, as it is unlikely that you’d get enough curcumin (the active ingredient found in turmeric) through dietary means alone. Consult with your doctor for the best dosage for your needs, and before starting any herbal supplementation.

8. Treats Depression

Curcumin, the antioxidant that makes turmeric so fascinating as a spice, has been shown to work very similar to an antidepressant.  This is good news for those looking to treat their depression using natural methods as well as those that simply want the best possible mental health.

9. Helps to Lower Cholesterol

High cholesterol is a precursor to several heart conditions, which is why it’s so important to keep it at healthy levels. There are several ways to help get your cholesterol levels down, but adding a simple spice to your cooking can go a long way.

10. Helps the Skin

Turmeric can help the skin in many ways, from reducing redness to fighting the signs of aging. These skin treatments involve using turmeric powder topically rather than ingesting it.

The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are well documented.  Incorporating turmeric into one’s diet might be a bit challenging.  Ukon Turmeric Supplement is a great way to get the benefits of turmeric into your healthy routine.  For more information on this supplement, contact Metro MediSpa at 888-637-7228.
