Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Nutrition Idea: Black Pepper & Turmeric
Black Pepper. Turmeric. Just spices? Not at all! Black pepper and turmeric have long histories as seasonings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic reveals some of the latest findings about the benefits of black pepper and turmeric: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients are healthy people often looking for a healthier approach to disease care and prevention. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic adds some spice to this healthier approach and Fernandina Beach back pain relief!
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic looks for healthier approaches to living just as chiropractic proves to be for our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and families at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. Adding some spice is one such way. Research in South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are integral to traditional foods of the region – presents indications of cure for centuries even while deficient in scientific explanation as of yet. Biologists today are examining spices’ medicinal value and reporting evidence for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may halt the growth of microorganisms. (1) Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and families appreciate that extra value of their spicy food! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic does!
The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin and curcuminoids) work well together. Asian foods have tasted better and been healthier for years! Curcumin and other curcuminoids – chemical compounds in turmeric – are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial in nature. Black pepper – akin to capsaicin – boosts the power 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 is not a noticeable serum level reaction. If it’s taken with 2mg of black pepper, its absorbability rose 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; relieve peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); avert some cancers, lessen pain even potentially neuropathic pain (by initiating transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic recognizes inflammation’s role in back pain whether it is chronic or acute. Fernandina Beach inflammation plays a role in disease and in back pain. Fernandina Beach chiropractic care by spinal manipulation and nutrition advice relieves back pain and related inflammation.
Some of the most astonishing 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 respond well to black pepper, turmeric, black cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron and chili pepper. These spices contain bioactive compounds – curcumin, thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that stimulate cell death, halt tumor creation, movement and attack, and sensitize tumors to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Fernandina Beach cancer patient is fighting cancer, these responses to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
