Turmeric's role in reducing chronic inflammation

Medical professionals are increasingly recognizing the role turmeric plays in managing inflammation. Chronic inflammation can be linked to a variety of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. Finding natural ways to reduce inflammation will improve your overall health.

Turmeric is rich in curcumin which, according to studies , has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. In a study published in Journal of Clinical Immunology, curcumin modulated the activation of B cells, T cells and macrophages. It also increased neutrophils. It's important to remember that further research will be needed to understand these benefits, as well as any possible side effects.

Turmeric: How to Get Started

It is easy to incorporate turmeric in your diet. The spice is widely available at grocery stores, and it can be added to a wide range of foods. There are some things you need to be aware of. Curcumin, for one thing, is difficult to absorb by the human body. According to a recent study published in Planta Medica, consuming it with piperine-containing black pepper can increase absorption up to 2000% .

Curcumin, which is fat-soluble, can be combined with turmeric. While turmeric is safe in most cases, large amounts can cause upset stomach and interact with some medications. Consult your doctor before beginning any new supplement regime.
