Black Pepper. Turmeric. Are they simply spices? No! Black pepper and turmeric have long
histories as seasonings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic shares
some of the latest findings about the
benefits of turmeric and black pepper:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients are healthy people often pursuing a
healthier approach to disease prevention and management. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic adds some spice to
this healthier way of life and Fort Wayne back pain relief!
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic looks for healthier ways
of living just as chiropractic proves
to be for our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients and families at
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Adding some spice is one such way. Research coming
out of South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are fundamental
to traditional foods of the region – brings evidence
of cure for centuries despite deficient in
scientific explanation thus far. Today, biologists are studying the
medicinal value of spices and showing support
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may stop
the growth of microorganisms. (1) Fort Wayne chiropractic
patients and families are grateful for that extra
value of their spicy food! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic does!
The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin
and curcuminoids) work together well. Asian foods have tasted better and
been healthier for years! Curcumin and other curcuminoids – chemical
compounds in turmeric – are
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial in
nature. Black pepper – akin to capsaicin – enhances
the potential of turmeric. Not being very bioavailable on its
own, curcumin’s absorbability is increased by black pepper. One
study exemplifies that if 2 grams of curcumin are taken
alone, there isn’t a noticeable serum level reaction. If it’s taken with 2mg of black pepper, curcumin’s
absorbability rose 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; alleviate
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); prevent
some cancers, lessen pain even possibly neuropathic
pain (by starting transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic recognizes
inflammation’s role in back pain whether it’s chronic
or acute. Fort Wayne inflammation plays a role in
disease and in back pain. Fort Wayne chiropractic care via spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice relieves back pain and related inflammation.
Some of the most amazing research on the
value of spices like black pepper and turmeric indicate their
effects on prevention and treatment of cancers. Lung, liver, breast, stomach,
colorectal, cervix and prostate cancers appear to react
well to black pepper, turmeric, black cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron and chili
pepper. These spices have bioactive compounds – curcumin,
thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that stimulate cell
death, halt tumor creation, movement and attack, and prepare tumors to be sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Fort Wayne
cancer patient is fighting cancer, these responses
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
