Tasty Murfreesboro Anti-Inflammatory Goodies: Blueberries and Curcumin

Murfreesboro patients|Sufferers with conditions related to inflammation like osteoarthritis (OA) may benefit from tasty additions to their daily diet. Blueberries and curcumin each offer anti-inflammatory benefits that may well help manage their effects. Most Chiropractic Clinic values these easy, tasty ways to help combat inflammation in addition to the rest of the Murfreesboro chiropractic treatment plan.

CURCUMIN’S ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMPACT ON DISEASE

For more than 4000 years, curcumin’s healthy benefits – like its ability to counter human diseases/conditions like diabetes, cancer, and inflammation - have been known. A new study review highlighted curcumin’s effectiveness in treating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s ALS, and MS. (1) Your Murfreesboro chiropractor specifically appreciates curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties for dealing with osteoarthritis (OA). A chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis isn’t a condition with a sure cure, but curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties stand out in their therapeutic value for OA management. Researchers particularly described the chondroprotective effects curcumin offers. (2) Up against the usual treatment of OA – NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc. – curcumin had a protective effect against OA with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in an osteoarthritic rat study. One of the many benefits detailed in this study was that arthritic conditions as well as serum biomarkers TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, COMP, and CRP reduced after 4 weeks of use. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic knows our typical, older OA patient who has trouble walking will appreciate this!

THE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF BLUEBERRIES

Not that curcumin IS NOT tasty, but blueberries may come to mind as the tastier choice of the two! Good thing! Blueberries, too, have anti-inflammatory benefits. Rich in bioactive substances in addition to having healthy properties - anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-cancer blueberries are documented to help treat cancer, lower metabolic syndrome, and protect liver function via their ability to intervene in nuclear receptor activity. (4) Blueberries work at the cellular level! They slowed the production of inflammatory factors, particularly TNF, ESR1, AGTR1 and IGF1. (5) Another study suggested daily blueberry eating may reduce pain, stiffness, and difficulty doing daily tasks as well as improving gait may well improve quality of life for knee OA sufferers who find walking difficult. (6) Blueberries are tasty options to add to your nutrition plan for those suffering with inflammation.
