Tasty Fort Wayne Anti-Inflammatory Goodies: Blueberries and Curcumin

Fort Wayne patients|Sufferers with conditions related to inflammation like osteoarthritis (OA) may benefit from some interesting additions to their daily diet. Blueberries and curcumin each offer anti-inflammatory benefits that may well assist in the management of their effects. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic values these simple, tasty ways to help combat inflammation by adding these to the rest of the Fort Wayne chiropractic treatment plan.

CURCUMIN’S ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMPACT ON DISEASE

For over 4000 years, curcumin’s healthy benefits – like its ability to lessen human diseases/conditions like diabetes, cancer, and inflammation - have been documented. A recent study review focused on curcumin’s effectiveness in managing neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s ALS, and MS. (1) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor particularly values curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties for dealing with osteoarthritis (OA). A chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis is not a condition with a sure cure, but curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties excel in their therapeutic value for OA management. Researchers particularly noted the chondroprotective effects curcumin has. (2) Compared to the usual treatment of OA – NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc. – curcumin offered a protective effect against OA with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in a study of osteoarthritis rats. One of the multiple benefits described in this study was that arthritic conditions and serum biomarkers TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, COMP, and CRP decreased after 4 weeks of use. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows our typical, older OA patient who has trouble walking will appreciate this!

BLUEBERRIES’ ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFITS

Not that curcumin isn’t tasty, but blueberries may come to mind as the tastier choice of the two! Good thing! Blueberries, too, offer anti-inflammatory positive attributes. Rich in bioactive substances as well as other healthy properties - anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-cancer blueberries are documented to help treat cancer, lower metabolic syndrome, and protect liver function via their ability to intervene in nuclear receptor activity. (4) Blueberries work at the cellular level! They slackened the production of inflammatory factors, specifically TNF, ESR1, AGTR1 and IGF1. (5) Another study recommended daily blueberry eating may decrease pain, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily tasks as well as bettering gait may well better quality of life for knee OA sufferers who find walking difficult. (6) Blueberries are tasty choices to add to your nutrition plan for those experiencing the effects of inflammation.
