4000 years of consumption. That is quite
a history! Curcumin has it. (Chiropractic delights
in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern
countries like China and India offers much fodder
to researchers to examine just what an impact
it has on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory
substance is gaining recognition
for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and
pain. Chiropractic Solutions continues to study curcumin’s beneficial role in possible inflammation
and San Jose back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin holds a long
history of use going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter
history of use currently for its ability to control
levels of various neurotransmitters
in the brain along with preventing
cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers posited
that curcumin could be a “future drug of therapy for the
treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive
dyskinesia, and major depression are among those such orders.
They requested further clinical
studies back then to put curcumin into therapeutic use because of its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia,
major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric
disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may add
to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or stop
reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is advantageous.
(3) Your San Jose chiropractor knows the role of
cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values
the potential curcumin has in dealing with
cell death and reducing inflammation and thus reducing
San Jose back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to incorporate
curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A
curcumin rich diet is reported to offset diseases
like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A new
paper on curcumin reveals the role of curcumin in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular
atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple
sclerosis and more). In order to bring
more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share
the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Chiropractic Solutions
knows many San Jose chiropractic patients will go the supplementation
route as it’s easy and effective. Chiropractic Solutions will suggest
what’s right for you and your San Jose chiropractic
treatment plan.
