4000 years of consumption. That is some history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic delights
in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern
countries like China and India gives much fodder
to researchers to study just what an impact
it makes on disease. And there is a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory
substance is gaining recognition
for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and
pain. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc remains interested in curcumin’s positive role in possible inflammation
and Fort Wayne back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has an expansive
history of usage going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter
history of use in present day for its ability to control
levels of various brain neurotransmitters in addition to preventing
cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers suggested
that curcumin could be a “future drug of therapy for the
treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive
dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders.
They recommended further clinical
studies back then to place curcumin into therapeutic use because of its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia,
major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric
disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may add
to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to reduce or halt
reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is advantageous.
(3) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor knows the role of
cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values
the potential curcumin has in dealing with
cell death and reducing inflammation and thus decreasing
Fort Wayne back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to integrate
curcumin for maximal benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A
curcumin rich diet is written to counteract diseases
like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A new
report on curcumin reveals the role of curcumin in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular
atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple
sclerosis and more). In order to effect
more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share
the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc
knows many Fort Wayne chiropractic patients will go the supplementation
route as it’s easy and effective. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc will suggest
what is right for you and your Fort Wayne chiropractic
treatment plan.
