Black Pepper. Turmeric. Are they just
plain, old spices? No! Black pepper and turmeric have lengthy
histories as seasonings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Most Chiropractic Clinic discloses
some of the current reports about the
benefits of black pepper and turmeric:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Murfreesboro chiropractic
patients are healthy people often seeking a
healthier approach to disease prevention and care. Most Chiropractic Clinic adds some spice to
this healthier way of life and Murfreesboro back pain relief!
Most Chiropractic Clinic seeks out healthier approaches to living just as chiropractic demonstrates itself
to be for our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients and families at
Most Chiropractic Clinic. Including some spice is one such way. Research coming
out of South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are key
to traditional foods of the region – shows evidence
of cure for centuries even while deficient in
scientific explanation as of yet. Biologists
today are studying spices’ medicinal value and reporting support
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may stop
the progression of microorganisms. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic would think
that Murfreesboro 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 – improves
the power of turmeric. Not being very bioavailable on its
own, curcumin’s absorbability is boosted by black pepper. One
study explains that if 2 grams of curcumin are taken
alone, serum
levels remain low. If it is taken with 2mg of black pepper, its
absorbability increased 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; ease
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); avert
some cancers, reduce pain even potentially neuropathic
pain (by starting transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Most Chiropractic Clinic is well aware of
inflammation’s role in back pain be it chronic
or acute. Murfreesboro inflammation takes part in
disease and in back pain. Murfreesboro chiropractic care by spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice helps 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 have bioactive compounds – curcumin,
thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that stimulate cell
death, halt tumor creation, movement and attack, and prepare tumors to be sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Murfreesboro
cancer patient is dealing with cancer, these responses
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
