turmeric is a flavorful spice that has been used throughout history for medicinal purposes
researchers found that it is rich in bioactive compounds and properties
that can reduce oxidative damage and provide many positive health benefits for the human body
but is turmeric good for your arteries and can it provide benefits for your cardiovascular system
that is exactly what we are going to discuss in this video so if you're ready let's get into it
arteries are the blood vessels that transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of
the body as you know this is a requirement for survival however sometimes our diet and
lifestyle choices can cause arteries to become clogged which increases the likelihood of a heart
attack or stroke this is a term referred to as atherosclerosis and it often goes unnoticed until
symptoms such as chest pain start to arise many of the common foods that we eat can actually increase
the likelihood of a blockage with that said there are also certain foods with properties that can
help the arteries open up so that blood can flow more freely as previously mentioned turmeric may
in fact be one of those powerful ingredients turmeric is the bright yellow spice that is
often found in indian cuisine it's packed with antioxidant properties that can work to prevent
fatty deposits from developing in the arteries it also contains anti-inflammatory properties which
help prevent the arteries from hardening over time this improves the functionality of the heart and
cardiovascular system while turmeric has typically been used for reducing inflammation studies found
that it also has the ability to improve the body's antibody response researchers found that turmeric
can serve as a natural way to help those suffering from immune disorders we've talked more about the
other positive health benefits of turmeric in other videos here on our channel however some
examples include it can reduce inflammation lower the risk of cancer lower the risk of heart disease
boost the immune system and potentially help prevent obesity with that said if you want to
keep your circulatory system functioning at an optimal level there are certain foods that we
should avoid as a general rule of thumb we should try to avoid foods that are high in
cholesterol because it combines with fat calcium and other substances in the blood to form plaque
which can cause blockages in the arteries also try to avoid foods that are high in saturated
fat and trans fat because they are culprits when it comes to black buildup in the arteries as well
trust me i get it this can be unfortunate at times because many of the tasty foods that we enjoy
contain these properties that are bad for the cardiovascular system however when it comes
to improving our overall health i think is the sacrifice that we have to make especially when
we can enjoy certain superfoods with healthy compounds such as turmeric however just a quick
