[schwartz turmeric curcumin]Liver cancer is a dangerous disease that kills more than 8 million people worldwide each year. Currently, the treatment for liver cancer is still difficult and the disease is usually not completely reversible. However, scientists have found that the active ingredient in turmeric curcumin has many effects on people with liver cancer, helping to support the treatment of the disease. By reading this article, Salba24h will point out all the benefits of curcumin.
What is curcumin and where is it found?
Curcumin, also known as diferuloylmethane, is a naturally occurring polyphenol compound found primarily in the turmeric root (Curcuma longa). In addition, this compound is also found in some other ginger root but not as high.
Curcumin is one of the three main curcuminoids in turmeric. Curcuminoids is the main compound that makes turmeric yellow, curcumin has a light color and is often used to color food as an additive.
Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities, curcumin has many effects on human health. Curcumin has been shown to include:
Heals wounds quickly
Since ancient times, turmeric has been used in healing wounds as well as helping to prevent scars. According to some studies, curcumin has anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration properties very quickly.
Control angiogenesis
The formation of new blood vessels plays an important role in a number of physiological processes such as embryogenesis and wound healing. However, the excessive proliferation of blood vessels will form pathology. Curcumin helps to significantly control this process.
Reduce the risk of heart disease
Several studies show that curcumin improves the function of the heart endothelial layer. This active ingredient also has the ability to prevent platelet coagulation, which helps prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Improve brain function and reduce the risk of brain diseases
Curcumin increases the concentration of brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), stimulates the growth of new nerve cells and fights the aging processes of the brain. This makes curcumin work to improve memory and prevent some brain diseases.
Prevention of Alzheimer's disease
Inflammation and oxidative damage are two of the many causes of Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that should be effective in preventing this disease. The active ingredient can bypass the blood-brain barrier and destroy amyloid plaques that accumulate in brain cells (the reason why they cannot transmit information).
Improve arthritis
Curcumin has been shown to be effective in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and helps improve some of the other symptoms of arthritis.
Anti-depressant
The cause of depression is linked to a decrease in brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF). Curcumin has the ability to significantly increase BDNF, which has many benefits in fighting depression.
