Curry for good health

15/02/2010 by admin.

Curcumin is one of three curcuminoids of the Indian spice, Turmeric, responsible for its yellow colour.  More people are looking to take curcumin daily due to its many benefits.  These include:

• Boosts our immune systems due to its antioxidant properties and will therefore help prevent coughs and colds.
• Curcumin improves the body’s liver function and therefore aids in the elimination of toxins.
• It also has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces oxidative damage, and therefore helps to keep our neural pathways clear, beating dementia such as Alzheimer’s Disease.
• One of the benefits of taking curcumin daily is that it can help prevent cancer by encouraging the infected cells to destroy themselves and, in the process, leaves the healthy cells alone. 
• The lowering of our LDL cholesterol (ie bad cholesterol) is a benefit of taking Curcumin on a regular basis.  High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors of heart disease.

Must be time for a curry, purely for medicinal purposes.
