Black Pepper. Turmeric. Just spices? Not at all! Black pepper and turmeric have lengthy
histories as flavorings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center shares
some of the latest reports about the
benefits of turmeric and black pepper:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Manahawkin chiropractic
patients are healthy people often seeking a
healthier approach to disease prevention and care. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center adds some spice to
this healthier way of life and Manahawkin back pain relief!
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center looks for healthier ways
of living just as chiropractic proves
to be for our Manahawkin chiropractic patients and families at
Manahawkin 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 evidence
of cure for centuries even while deficient in
scientific explanation as of yet. Biologists
today are analyzing spices’ medicinal value and showing support
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may halt
the growth of microorganisms. (1) Manahawkin chiropractic
patients and families welcome that extra
value of their spicy food! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 – offer natural benefits like being anti-fungal,
anti-oxidant, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Black pepper – similar to capsaicin – boosts
the potential of turmeric. Curcumin
is not very bioavailable, so black pepper allows it to be better
absorbed. One
study reports 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; help
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); avert
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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center sees
inflammation’s role in back pain be it chronic
or acute. Manahawkin inflammation takes part in
disease and in back pain. Manahawkin chiropractic care by spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice helps 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 appear 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 encourage cell
death, stop tumor creation, movement and attack, and prepare tumors to be sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Manahawkin
cancer patient is dealing with cancer, these responses
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
