Organic turmeric powder . Turmeric is a spice with a mild flavor and woody aroma. It is a relative of ginger and comes from the root of a tropical plant. It is particularly suitable for pasta, rice, fish, vegetables and potatoes. It also has excellent healing properties.
Curcumin is a natural pigment found in turmeric, used in the preparation of curry powder and giving it its characteristic yellow color. It contains a mixture of powerful antioxidants, known as curcuminoids, a group of phenolic compounds isolated from the roots of the Curcuma longa plant.
In addition to its use as a spice, turmeric has been used in India for therapeutic purposes for centuries. Recent evidence shows that curcumin protects the body from some diseases and has a beneficial effect on human health.
Curcumin helps prevent and treat colds. It is used as a therapeutic agent to relieve pain and inflammation, while also being a first-class antibiotic for external use, preventing bacterial infections in wounds and accelerating the healing process.
Scientific data, mainly in experimental animals, indicate that curcumin has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties. This natural pigment appears to suppress the carcinogenic effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (substances created during prolonged cooking of meat) and inhibit the action of enzymes that accelerate the negative outcome of certain cancers.
Other studies show that curcumin helps prevent tumors and prevents the development of prostate and breast cancer. At the same time, epidemiological data has shown that Indians who use large amounts of curcumin in their diet have lower rates of colon cancer. Coincidence or another beneficial effect of turmeric and its curcumin?
Curcumin is also known for its beneficial properties for the liver. Studies in laboratory animals have shown that it can protect the liver from a large number of harmful substances, such as carbon tetrachloride, benzene and dichlorobenzene. These substances belong to a group of organic chemicals that are likely to leach into the aquifer or be spilled into lakes, from chemical, plastic or oil factories or even gasoline storage tanks, essentially contaminating the water we drink…
Other scientific evidence shows that curcumin reduces cholesterol levels in the body, resulting in a protective effect on arterial diseases and cardiovascular diseases in general.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in curcumin and its properties due to its apparent positive effects on human health. However, research must continue to fully understand its mechanisms of action at the cellular and genetic levels.
