Benefits of the turmeric
According to Dr. María Ramírez, from the University of Granada, in Spain, “Curcuma has curcumin, a substance that would prevent the accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries, preventing them from becoming narrow and rigid, which would reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis and other problems such as stroke. “
Among many of its benefits here we accompany some of them to take into account:
Potent Antioxidant .- Turmeric is a member of the family of ginger and one of the essential condiments of curry, its main component is polyphenol curcumin that can help prevent oxidative stress, protects against various diseases and prevents the formation of radicals free (substances that promote cellular aging).
Allied against Cancer. – Including turmeric in your habitual diet would have the power to prevent, control and even kill several types of cancer. According to a study by the University of Maryland Medical Center, curcumin inhibits the growth of prostate cancer and has the potential to prevent the progression of this disease by stopping the growth of blood vessels that irritate cancerous tumors.
Weapon to burn fat.- Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in Indian cuisine, but it can also help you lose weight and suppress the growth of adipose tissue according to a study from Tufts University. They believe that turmeric helps the body break down fats, restricting the blood supply to fat cells.
Healthy skin.- In some parts of India it is tradition to apply turmeric paste to the bride and groom before marriage to make their skin look healthier and shine brighter. Its anti-bacterial properties help to reduce pimples and acne, in addition, it has properties that help to fight dry skin, lighten the skin and slow down the aging process.
