Turmeric and Curcumin
Spices are found around the world, especially in Southeast Asia. One of them -- turmeric -- has been called "the spice of life" since ancient times. In India today, it is called "the holy powder."
Turmeric is the essential spice in curry, a diet staple on the Indian Subcontinent. It not only jazzes up the food, but also helps prevent spoilage and protects nutritive value. So, if turmeric protects foods, can it do the same for our bodies which, after all, are built upon the foods we eat?
The chemical compound primarily responsible for turmeric's antioxidant power is curcumin. It belongs to a broad class of compounds called polyphenols, many of which have been found to have major health benefits for humans.
· Antihepatotoxic -- it has a protective effect on the liver
· Antihyperlipidemic - it inhibits the excessive buildup of lipids (such as cholesterol) in the blood
· Anti-inflammatory --it reduces inflammation
· Antioxidant -- it scavenges free radicals and inhibits lipid peroxide formation, especially in the liver
· Antitumoral -- it inhibits the formation of tumors including cancerous ones
· Antimicrobrial -- it inhibits the action of microorganisms such as bacteria
· Antifertile -- it has a contraceptive effect
· Anti-insect -- as a bonus to all of the above, it even acts as an insect repellant!
