Black Pepper. Turmeric. Just spices? Not at all! Black pepper and turmeric have lengthy
histories as flavorings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Chiropractic Care discloses
some of the latest reports about the
benefits of black pepper and turmeric:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. West Palm Beach chiropractic
patients are healthy people often seeking a
healthier approach to disease prevention and management. Chiropractic Care adds some spice to
this healthier way of life and West Palm Beach back pain relief!
Chiropractic Care looks for healthier approaches to living just as chiropractic demonstrates itself
to be for our West Palm Beach chiropractic patients and families at
Chiropractic Care. Adding some spice is one such way. Research in South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are integral
to traditional foods of the region – presents indications
of cure for centuries despite lacking
scientific explanation as of yet. Today, biologists are analyzing spices’ medicinal value and reporting evidence
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may stop
the progression of microorganisms. (1) West Palm Beach chiropractic
patients and families welcome that extra
value of their spicy food! Chiropractic Care does!
The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin
and curcuminoids) work together well. 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 – boosts
the potential of turmeric. Curcumin
is not very bioavailable, so black pepper allows it to be better
absorbed. One
study exemplifies that if 2 grams of curcumin are taken
alone, serum
levels remain low. If it is taken with 2mg of black pepper, curcumin’s
absorbability increased 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; help
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) Chiropractic Care recognizes
inflammation’s role in back pain whether it’s chronic
or acute. West Palm Beach inflammation plays a role in
disease and in back pain. West Palm Beach chiropractic care by spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice helps back pain and related inflammation.
Some of the most astonishing 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 seem to react
well to black pepper, turmeric, black cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron and chili
pepper. These spices contain bioactive compounds – curcumin,
thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that stimulate cell
death, stop tumor creation, movement and attack, and sensitize
tumors to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a West Palm Beach
cancer patient is fighting cancer, these reactions
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
