Black Pepper. Turmeric. Are they simply spices? No! Black pepper and turmeric have lengthy
histories as seasonings and medicines. Such spicy histories! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic shares
some of the current reports about the
benefits of black pepper and turmeric:
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer. Montreal chiropractic
patients are healthy people often looking for a
healthier approach to disease prevention and care. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic adds some spice to
this healthier way of life and Montreal back pain relief!
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic seeks out healthier approaches to living just as chiropractic demonstrates itself
to be for our Montreal chiropractic patients and families at
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic. Including some spice is one such way. Research coming
out of South Asia and Middle East countries - where spices are key
to traditional foods of the region – brings indications
of cure for centuries even while deficient in
scientific explanation as of yet. Today, biologists are examining spices’ medicinal value and reporting evidence
for the antimicrobial effects they have and just how they may halt
the progression of microorganisms. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic would surmise
that Montreal chiropractic families and patients would embrace
the bonus benefit of spicy food’s value!
The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin
and curcuminoids) work well together. Asian foods have
always been tastier and more full of healthful benefits! Curcumin and other curcuminoids – chemical
compounds in turmeric – present natural benefits like being anti-fungal,
anti-oxidant, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Black pepper – similar to capsaicin – heightens
the power of turmeric. Curcumin
is not very bioavailable, so black pepper lets it be better
absorbed. One
study exemplifies that if 2 grams of curcumin are taken
alone, serum
levels remain low. If it is taken with 2mg of black pepper, its
absorbability rose 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; relieve
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); avert
some cancers, lessen pain even possibly neuropathic
pain (by initiating transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic recognizes
inflammation’s role in back pain whether it is chronic
or acute. Montreal inflammation plays a role in
disease and in back pain. Montreal chiropractic care by spinal
manipulation and nutrition advice helps back pain and related inflammation.
Some of the most astonishing 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 seem to react
well to black pepper, turmeric, black cumin, ginger, garlic, saffron and chili
pepper. These spices contain bioactive compounds – curcumin,
thymoquinone, piperine, capsaicin - that promote cell
death, stop tumor creation, movement and attack, and sensitize
tumors to radiation and chemotherapy treatments. (3) When a Montreal
cancer patient is fighting cancer, these reactions
to spices like black pepper and turmeric are certainly good!
Schedule a Montreal appointment with
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic to discuss how black pepper and
turmeric just may spice up your life enough to reduce
pain as part of your healthy Montreal chiropractic treatment plan.
