Black Pepper. Turmeric. Just spices? Not at all! Black pepper and turmeric have lengthy
histories as flavorings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Minster Chiropractic Center discloses
some of the current findings about the
benefits of black pepper and turmeric:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Minster chiropractic
patients are healthy people often pursuing a
healthier way to disease
management and prevention. Minster Chiropractic Center adds some spice to
this healthier approach and Minster back pain relief!
Minster Chiropractic Center seeks out healthier approaches to living just as chiropractic demonstrates itself
to be for our Minster chiropractic patients and families at
Minster Chiropractic Center. Including some spice is one such way. Research in South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are fundamental
to traditional foods of the region – presents indications
of cure for centuries even while deficient in
scientific explanation thus far. Biologists
today are analyzing the
medicinal value of spices and showing evidence
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may halt
the progression of microorganisms. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center would think
that Minster chiropractic families and patients would welcome
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 – present natural benefits like being anti-fungal,
anti-oxidant, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Black pepper – similar to capsaicin – boosts
the power of turmeric. Curcumin
is not very bioavailable, so black pepper allows it to be absorbed better. 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 rose 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; alleviate
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); avert
some cancers, reduce pain even possibly neuropathic
pain (by starting transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Minster Chiropractic Center sees
inflammation’s role in back pain whether it is chronic
or acute. Minster inflammation plays a role in
disease and in back pain. Minster chiropractic care via 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 point to their
effects on prevention and treatment of cancers. Lung, liver, breast, stomach,
colorectal, cervix and prostate cancers seem 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, halt tumor creation, movement and attack, and sensitize
tumors to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Minster
cancer patient is fighting cancer, these reactions
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly positive!
