Black Pepper. Turmeric. Are they just
plain, old spices? No! Black pepper and turmeric have lengthy
histories as seasonings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation shares
some of the latest reports about the
benefits of turmeric and black pepper:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Tonawanda chiropractic
patients are healthy people often looking for a
healthier approach to disease
care and prevention. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation adds some spice to
this healthier approach and Tonawanda back pain relief!
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation looks for healthier ways
of living just as chiropractic proves
to be for our Tonawanda chiropractic patients and families at
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. Adding some spice is one such way. Research coming
out of South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are fundamental
to traditional foods of the region – presents evidence
of cure for centuries even while lacking
scientific explanation thus far. Today, biologists are examining the
medicinal value of spices and showing support
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may halt
the progression of microorganisms. (1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation would think
that Tonawanda chiropractic families and patients would embrace
the bonus benefit of spicy food’s value!
The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin
and curcuminoids) work well together. Asian foods have
always been tastier and more full of healthful benefits! Curcumin and other curcuminoids – chemical
compounds in turmeric – are
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial in
nature. Black pepper – akin to capsaicin – heightens
the potential of turmeric. Not being very bioavailable on its
own, curcumin’s absorbability is increased by black pepper. One
study exemplifies that if 2 grams of curcumin are taken
alone, there isn’t a noticeable serum level reaction. If it’s taken with 2mg of black pepper, curcumin’s
absorbability rose 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; ease
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); prevent
some cancers, lessen pain even possibly neuropathic
pain (by triggering transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation recognizes
inflammation’s role in back pain whether it is chronic
or acute. Tonawanda inflammation plays a role in
disease and in back pain. Tonawanda chiropractic care via spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice relieves back pain and related inflammation.
Some of the most amazing research on the
value of spices like black pepper and turmeric point to their
effects on prevention and treatment of cancers. Lung, liver, breast, stomach,
colorectal, cervix and prostate cancers appear to react
well to black pepper, turmeric, black cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron and chili
pepper. These spices contain bioactive compounds – curcumin,
thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that promote cell
death, halt tumor creation, movement and attack, and prepare tumors to be sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Tonawanda
cancer patient is fighting cancer, these responses
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly positive!
