Black Pepper. Turmeric. Just spices? Not at all! Black pepper and turmeric have long
histories as seasonings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Wilson Family Chiropractic reveals
some of the latest findings about the
benefits of black pepper and turmeric:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Millville chiropractic
patients are healthy people often pursuing a
healthier way to disease
management and prevention. Wilson Family Chiropractic adds some spice to
this healthier approach and Millville back pain relief!
Wilson Family Chiropractic seeks out healthier ways
of living just as chiropractic proves
to be for our Millville chiropractic patients and families at
Wilson Family Chiropractic. Adding 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 – presents evidence
of cure for centuries despite deficient in
scientific explanation thus far. Biologists
today are analyzing spices’ medicinal value and showing evidence
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may stop
the progression of microorganisms. (1) Millville chiropractic
patients and families appreciate that extra
value of their spicy food! Wilson Family Chiropractic does!
The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin
and curcuminoids) work together well. Asian foods have tasted better and
been healthier for years! Curcumin and other curcuminoids – chemical
compounds in turmeric – offer natural benefits like being anti-fungal,
anti-oxidant, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Black pepper – similar 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 rose 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; relieve
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); prevent
some cancers, reduce pain even possibly neuropathic
pain (by causing transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Wilson Family Chiropractic is well aware of
inflammation’s role in back pain whether it’s chronic
or acute. Millville inflammation plays a role in
disease and in back pain. Millville chiropractic care by spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice relieves back pain and related inflammation.
Some of the most amazing research on the
value of spices like black pepper and turmeric indicate their
effects on prevention and treatment of cancers. Lung, liver, breast, stomach,
colorectal, cervix and prostate cancers appear to respond
well to black pepper, turmeric, black cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron and chili
pepper. These spices have bioactive compounds – curcumin,
thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that promote cell
death, stop tumor creation, movement and attack, and sensitize
tumors to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Millville
cancer patient is dealing with cancer, these reactions
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
