Turmeric is arguably the most powerful herb on the
planet to preventing, reversing and curing disease. With over 600 health
benefits, turmeric’s medicinal powers are seemingly endless! From cancer
prevention to anti-inflammatory treatments, turmeric should be a staple in
every diet. In fact, when compared to conventional pharmaceutical medications,
turmeric has proven to be more advantageous than certain prescription drugs,
like Prozac and Aspirin.
Turmeric as
an Anti-Inflammatory
With
more than 2 dozen anti-inflammatory compounds and 6 COX-2 inhibitors, turmeric
reduces inflammatory outbreaks. COX-2 is an enzyme that reduces pain and
inflammation. Put simply, turmeric’s high COX-2 content “blocks” inflammation
and brings pain relief.
Turmeric
as an Anti-Oxidant and to Prevent Cancer
Turmeric
permeates the membranes of free radicals and neutralizes them. This prevents
cancerous cells from spreading and creating more oxidation!
Studies
prove that turmeric helps prevent several forms of cancer including lung,
stomach, breast, colon and liver. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant
properties prohibit the development of cancer by interfering with the cellular
signals of chronic disease.
