4000 years of consumption. That’s 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 offers much data
to researchers to see just what an influence
it has on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory
substance is gaining credit
for positive effect on neurological diseases, cell death, and
pain. Spine & Sports Rehab Center continues to study curcumin’s beneficial role in potential inflammation
and Baton Rouge back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has a long
history of usage going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter
history of use currently for its ability to control
levels of various neurotransmitters
in the brain in addition to preventing
cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers posited
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 called for more clinical
studies back then to put curcumin into therapeutic use due
to 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 contribute
to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or stop
reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is advantageous.
(3) Your Baton Rouge chiropractor knows the role of
cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values
the potential curcumin possesses in addressing
cell death and reducing inflammation and thereby reducing
Baton Rouge back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to integrate
curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A
curcumin rich diet is written to offset diseases
like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A new
report on curcumin reveals the role
curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular
atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple
sclerosis and more). In order to bring
more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the researchers share
the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes regarding
the use of curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Spine & Sports Rehab Center
realizes many Baton Rouge chiropractic patients would like
the simpler supplementation route which is quite simple and effective. Spine & Sports Rehab Center will share
what is right for you and your Baton Rouge chiropractic
treatment plan.
