10 Things That Could Happen When You Add Turmeric To Your Healthy Diet
Turmeric is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, but do you know which parts of the body it may benefit the most?
đŞđľđŽđ đśđ đđđżđşđ˛đżđśđ°?
Turmeric is a spice that contains curcuminâan antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that is thought to be good for your health. Turmeric does seem to have some health benefits. Itâs important to note that, in general, the spice needs more research and in some cases itâs not clear what specific amounts you need to ingest to gain the health benefits. However, experts and some studies point to turmeric as being a healthy addition to your diet for these reasons.

The spice may give your weight loss efforts a boost. Research in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Studies, Frontiers in Pharmacology, and Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Disorders Drug Targets link curcumin to weight loss and a reduction in BMI. According to Patricia Bannan, a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist and healthy cooking expert: âWhile increasing your intake of turmeric alone isnât a great strategy for weight loss, it may help you mitigate the inflammation associated with obesity and give you a slight boost in fat burning.â But Bannan stresses itâs best to get it from foodsâeat more curry, for example. If you do supplement, check with your doctor first.

Curcumin is a polyphenolâa type of antioxidantâthat contributes to turmericâs anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies, including one in the Journal of Medicinal Food, have suggested that curcumin has the ability to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints afflicted by arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation even suggests that those with arthritis can try capsules of curcumin extract (not whole turmeric, which can be contaminated with lead) at 500 mg, twice a day. However, registered dietitian Jonathan Valdez, owner of Genki Nutrition and spokesperson for New York State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says that taking more than 500 mg of curcumin may inhibit iron absorption, which is crucial for the production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Valdez also warns that if you do supplement, you should take curcumin with black pepperâotherwise your body has a tough time absorbing the substance. The Arthritis Foundation notes that high doses of turmeric/curcumin can cause an upset stomach. They recommend avoiding them if you take blood-thinning drugs like warfarin (Coumadin), are scheduled to have surgery, are pregnant, or have gallbladder disease.

Curcumin may help fight against inflammation in the bodyâand inflammation may play a role in depression. A meta-analysis of 10 studies about curcumin and depression published in 2019 in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition suggested that it could improve symptoms of anxiety and depression. Bannan says that most available research indicates curcumin may help reduce symptoms of depression in those who are already using an antidepressant.

According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, over 100 million adults in the United States either have diabetes or prediabetes. Type 2 diabetes, which is due to a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors, accounts for 90 to 95 percent of all diabetes cases. Research on curcumin published in the Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism suggests it can work as a hypoglycemic agentâlowering and helping control blood glucose (blood sugar) levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Good blood sugar control can help prevent the serious health complications associated with diabetes, such as neuropathy (damage to the nervous system) and nephropathy (kidney disease).
Bannan says that researchers have suggested that curcumin may also help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, but that idea is still in the works and needs further research. âMore clinical trials with humans are needed for a better understanding of curcumin and turmericâs effects,â says Bannan.

People who live in India have lower rates of Alzheimerâs disease compared to Europe and the United States. The reasons for the disparity are complex, and probably due to a number of different factors. Turmeric is used in Ayurveda, a holistic healing system that originated in India thousands of years ago and is still popular today. And then thereâs the prominence of turmeric in Indian cuisineâis it possible that turmeric can help prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimerâs? The jury is still out, but one theory is that curcumin may help inhibit plaques that research has linked to neuron damage in the brain.
However turmeric may help your memory: Valdez says that consuming one gram of turmeric every day may be helpful with memory or cognitive function, especially in individuals who have prediabetes.

Once again, inflammation plays a role here: Early research on animals suggests there might be a connection between curcuminâs inflammation-calming action and cancer. âCurcumin is thought to have antioxidant properties, which means it may decrease swelling and inflammation,â says Bannan. Although animal studies donât always translate to humans, research is ongoing for curcumin and its impact on cancer in humans. A 2019 review in Nutrients notes that curcumin seems to have anticancer potential because it interferes with cell-signaling pathways in laboratory-grown cancer cells and is being investigated in a number of clinical trials. The authors note that additional studies and clinical trials are needed. (And they say it can sometimes cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and yellow stool.)

Those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome continually battle stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and numerous other unpleasant intestinal issues. Turmeric has the potential to alleviate some of this abdominal discomfort, according to a 2018 meta-analysis of research in the Journal of Clinical Medicine. Another study in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology that looked at people taking the drug mesalamine to treat ulcerative colitis suggested that curcumin was better than a placebo to help reduce symptoms. Ulcerative colitis is serious inflammatory bowel disease that causes ulcers in the digestive tract due to an autoimmune reaction.

Bannan says the effects of turmeric on cholesterol levels are a bit inconsistent. However: âTurmeric seems to lower levels of blood fats called triglycerides,â she says. Triglycerides are a type of a fat that forms in your blood when you eat more calories than you burn. Over time, they can build up and work in tandem with the bad cholesterol called LDL. Together the duo can harden your artery walls, increasing the chance of stroke, heart attack, and cardiovascular disease. Research published in Nutrition Journal found that people who took turmeric and curcumin had lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels in comparison to those who did not. Again, this needs further research and analysis, but there is potential.

Cardiovascular disease is the top killer worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. While many factors contribute to stroke and heart disease, one of the most prominent issues isâyou guessed itâinflammation. A 2020 study published in Biotechnology Advances suggested that curcumin could be good for preventing or treating cardiovascular disease. Other studies have suggested that the anti-inflammatory action of turmeric may help prevent artery disease. Valdez points out that recent studies suggest curcumin can protect the heart from ischemiaâan inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, particularly the muscles within the heart.š
