Benefits of Turmeric for Women’s Health Issues
There are many health benefits of turmeric. These benefits also come from curcumin, which is an ingredient in turmeric. Turmeric is the spice from India that is used in curry dishes. Curcumin is the part of turmeric that gives curry food its golden color. This also provides turmeric with curcuminoids, which are believed to have health properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. (Note: Turmeric is often mis-spelled as “tumeric.”)
Turmeric benefits have been known for centuries and have always been an important part of Chinese herbal medicine and also the Ayurvedic medicine of India. This natural food is believed to support liver health, help prevent bad cholesterol, and it is being studied for its ability to block tumors.
In laboratory studies at the University of Texas, preliminary research found turmeric to be useful in preventing and blocking the growth of cancer such as melanoma tumor cells, breast cancer, colon cancer and other cancers.
Some researchers believe there also appears to be some kind of association between reduced rates of leukemia and colon cancer, and populations of countries that consume a diet with higher amounts of curcumin from turmeric.
These findings are promising but are not proof of cures. Further studies are needed of course. But the preliminary research is exciting and promising for the relationship between turmeric and the possible help in prevention of various cancers.
Many other reputed health benefits of turmeric extract include a reputation for supporting healthy skin care, healthy cholesterol levels, liver and gallbladder health and possible joint pain relief through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
The antioxidant power of turmeric is so effective that it actually helps preserve the shelf life of foods that it is added to.
Turmeric Cautions and Side Effects?
The benefits of turmeric have been enjoyed in its use as an ingredient in food for hundreds of years and has not shown ill effects when consumed in moderate quantities. Many people of the world eat curry based meals every day that containins turmeric and curcumin. Studies are finding that these people have lower incidence of some cancers.
Turmeric is on the FDA's generally recognized as safe (GRAS) list and is considered a safe health food when recommended doses are not exceeded. As with any supplement, always read and follow label directions.
However doctors advise that turmeric extract be avoided by anyone with gallstones except under doctor supervision, and it should not be taken women who are pregnant.
