turmeric is a flavorful spice that has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years
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
this is especially true for those who are willing to incorporate turmeric into their
diets on a daily basis that is why in this video we're going to talk about a few of the incredible
benefits that turmeric has to offer and be sure to watch until the end because there are some
hidden benefits that i think will surprise you so if you're ready let's get into it
just a quick reminder we are not doctors this video is for informational purposes only
the first and likely most well-known benefit that turmeric has to offer
is that it reduces inflammation turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties
that can benefit your body's systems in a number of ways it contains a compound known as curcumin
that researchers believe is responsible for its amazing anti-inflammatory benefits
studies found that curcumin can help prevent certain chronic conditions such as heart disease
cancer and alzheimer's disease it is believed to help alleviate arthritis symptoms and even
aid in longevity as well each and every year more research is done and more evidence is discovered
that shows just how beneficial turmeric can be when it comes to reducing inflammation
another benefit that we should mention is that turmeric can enhance brain health
scientists believe that curcumin may help increase levels of a particular protein in the brain
that can boost memory and cognition this hormone is believed to help with the growth of new neurons
and prevent brain disorders such as alzheimer's disease more research is needed in this area but
strong evidence does support that turmeric helps boost the cognitive functioning of the brain
you should also know that turmeric can improve the health of your skin if you have not yet
heard of the tumeric face mask that is probably because it is a relatively new practice here in
the western world with that said many believe that turmeric has healing properties that offer great
cosmetic benefits again this goes back to the anti-inflammatory properties that we mentioned
thanks to curcumin researchers believe that it may help improve your skin's appearance
heal wounds help with psoriasis treat acne and potentially even help with the treatment of other
dermatological conditions another benefit that we need to discuss is that it can help treat
arthritis arthritis is a painful condition that is caused by inflammation in your joints so it
only seems natural that the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric can help alleviate these
unwanted symptoms many arthritis patients even report reduced stiffness with the use of turmeric
in their daily regimen just like with anything if you are suffering from a condition such as
arthritis it is best to discuss things with your doctor because in some cases the use of turmeric
may not be appropriate but moving right along some believe that turmeric can help treat depression
as we discussed earlier in this video curcumin can have positive effects on our brain health
which includes our ability to manage depression researchers noticed a significant and positive
effect from the uses of turmeric on patients suffering from depression and anxiety with
that said it may take years to get conclusive results on the long-term effects of turmeric
on those suffering from depression however it is certainly something to look forward to
and another hopeful benefit of turmeric is that it may potentially lower the risk of
certain types of cancer while more research is also needed in this area scientists are hopeful
that turmeric could help prevent certain types of cancer from occurring small-scale studies
were performed on normal risk participants and found that the daily intake of turmeric
had the potential to reduce levels of compounds known to be associated with a cancer diagnosis
this is likely due to the properties that work to reduce chronic inflammation in the body
also history has shown that the cultures that regularly use turmeric in their diets show fewer
cases of cancer as well not only do researchers think that turmeric can lower the risk of cancer
some believe that it lowers the risk of heart disease as well
heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world which explains why so many studies are
being performed on how to treat and prevent it with that said some researchers believe
that turmeric contains properties that improve the functionality of the endothelial lining in
blood vessels the endothelium is responsible for regulating blood pressure and other important
tasks such as preventing blood clots a study found that people receiving turmeric had a
decreased risk of experiencing a heart attack which is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease
the next benefit of turmeric that we need to talk about is that it helps with digestion
most people recognize ginger as a natural remedy to treat nausea and help with digestion you should
know that turmeric may be beneficial as well its bioactive compounds can help with indigestion
and alleviate digestive symptoms such as nausea vomiting constipation and irritable bowel syndrome
and we couldn't have made this video without mentioning the fact that turmeric can boost your
immune system as previously mentioned long-term inflammation can have detrimental effects on
your entire body of course this also includes the immune system which can increase your likelihood
of getting sick this is why turmeric may be a great addition to your daily diet its ability to
help reduce inflammation means your immune system can continue functioning at an optimal level this
can potentially make it easier for your immune cells to protect your body from the viruses and
bacteria that are looming on a daily basis studies also suggest that your human can activate t
cells which are critical to our body's ability to fight off foreign invaders another great benefit
that we should mention is that turmeric can help with weight loss a study found that the
bioactive compounds of turmeric may impact the processes in our body that burn and store fat
this is why some researchers believe that turmeric can help individuals reduce their overall weight
body fat percentage and waste-to-hip ratio as with many other benefits that we've mentioned
this is thanks to the powerful anti-inflammatory properties that turmeric has to offer not to
mention not only do some believe that turmeric can suppress fat tissue growth some researchers
claim that it can regulate blood sugar levels and positively benefit those with metabolic conditions
this is one of the many reasons why you should consider adding turmeric to your daily diet
of course with the approval of your doctor or qualified medical professional
