The Power of Turmeric.
The Turmeric Flower.
Herbs and spices are ancestral oriental culinary traditions and it is only natural that I continued to use these condiments, unaware of their treasure trove of benefits. My grandmother and mother used to put turmeric in all their preparations.You have read and reread countless articles about turmeric at properties amazing and essential, not to mention the multitudes of studies and I must say that turmeric alone is not far from the panacea. It forms beautiful, colorful flowers and marries with other chilly plants. Turmeric is a perennial tropical plant with short stems and rhizomes. Its roots are yellow or orange and its flowers are bright pink. Its foliage made of broad leaves is distributed on either side of the stem.
Turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous plant native to Southeast Asia. Its powdered rhizomes is extracted Spice.
Coming from the same family as ginger, one of the active molecules of turmeric is curcumin. Its benefits are recognized for these medicinal virtues. Its bright yellow coloration due to the plant’s polyphenols, the turmeric
or turmeric is a true miracle of nature.
Science validates its benefits.
The researchers measured the presence of curcumin in the blood. It is only effective when it is in our cells and must be bioavailable, so that the nutrient is assimilated and absorbed into the body, otherwise it will be rejected outright.
Initially, scientists observed that turmeric and its molecule were very poorly absorbed in the body, so could not bring the benefits that turmeric contains. For this reason, the challenge for researchers was precisely how to make it bioavailable.
Finally, after many years of research, the problem was solved, turmeric and its curcumin becomes bioavailable by adding fat, it will be said that it is fat soluble
.
In eastern countries where turmeric has been used for millennia, mixed with olive oils, the problem does not arise.
For this reason, for years, all natural health journals have stated that it is advisable to consume turmeric with a spoonful of fat.
Today, health professionals talk about liposomal curcumin.
According to scientists, the liposome will act on three points:
- Thanks to the enzymes of saliva and stomach acids to finish in the intestines, it thus acts on the digestive system by creating a wall to preserve the actions of curcumin, the liposome would thus protect the molecules of turmeric.
- The liposome will, so to speak, fuse with the membranes in the blood and cells.
- The molecules will be accompanied in the liver and heart.
An incredible list of benefits for the body.
The actions of turmeric are innumerable and effective:

- By adding pepper to your preparation, the bioavailability will be multiplied by 20. Take precautions if you have irritable bowel syndrome.
- Mixing fat with turmeric seems interesting to increase its absorption in the intestines.
- By heating it for at least 10 minutes, it multiplies the solubility of curcumin by 12.
Preserve and maintain the brain's abilities through turmeric.
The proper circulation of blood allows the nervous system to function properly, a well-irrigated brain prevents premature aging of neurons in the brain. Brain dysfunction is the main causes of Alzheimer’s disease.
Daily use of turmeric maintains the joints.
Just like when a bearing gets flu and eventually rusts, our joints need to be oiled to protect our joints and cartilage. These are cells called chondrocytes, responsible for replacing cartilage that is damaged by new. Not to mention that the daily use of turmeric also helps to protect the joints, fighting against free radicals that often trigger an inflammatory response.
When the chondrocytes are healthy, the cartilage covers the bones and absorbs shocks, so you don’t feel any discomfort in the joints.
