Turmeric is baby! Research: Anti-inflammatory

Turmeric is an ancient spice and a natural phenolic antioxidant. It has been used by women in India to maintain their skin since ancient times. In recent years, many studies have found that curcumin has many benefits for the body: such as anti-inflammation, anti-aging, prevention of cardiovascular disease, etc. In addition, it can reduce weight and body fat gain.

According to the European Journal of Nutrition, curcumin can reduce insulin resistance, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, obesity and other metabolic diseases related to inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation in the body is a precursor to many chronic diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis and heart disease.

In an animal experiment conducted at Tufts University in Boston, USA, mice were divided into three experimental groups and fed a low-fat, high-fat, and curcumin diet respectively. The results showed that even when the amount of food was unlimited, the turmeric group still had a reduction in body fat and weight gain, and also showed a decrease in blood sugar, cholesterol, fatty acids, triglycerides and fatty liver indexes, indicating that curcumin can indeed reduce the weight and body fat gain of mice.

How to take turmeric? Watch your intake

How can you get curcumin in your diet? Since turmeric powder itself is a spice with a unique taste, not everyone may be able to accept the taste of turmeric powder alone. It is recommended to add turmeric powder to dishes or rice and adjust the amount according to personal acceptance. Curry is one of the foods richest in curcumin, and turmeric is also the source of the yellow pigment in curry. In recent years, Japanese netizens have been losing weight by "eating curry for breakfast". There is even a comedian who successfully lost 21 kilograms in 85 days by eating curry.

However, commercially available curry cubes usually contain too much oil and salt, and have many additives. If you want to eat curry to absorb curcumin and lose weight, homemade curry would be a good choice. Or according to your needs, you can also purchase turmeric nutritional supplements and pay attention to the purity. Depending on the variety and season, turmeric can be divided into red turmeric, autumn turmeric, and spring turmeric. Among them, red turmeric produced in Okinawa has the highest content of curcumin.

Studies have shown that curcumin is non-toxic to the human body. The World Health Organization (WHO) points out that the recommended daily curcumin intake for adults is 0-3 mg per kilogram of body weight, and the daily intake is approximately within 200 mg to avoid excessive intake and adverse effects. In addition, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid taking curcumin.
