Tasty Montreal Anti-Inflammatory Goodies: Blueberries and Curcumin

Montreal patients|Sufferers with inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis (OA) may benefit from tasty additions to their daily diet. Blueberries and curcumin each offer anti-inflammatory benefits that may well help manage their effects. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic values these easy, tasty ways to help combat inflammation in addition to the rest of the Montreal chiropractic treatment plan.

CURCUMIN’S ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMPACT ON DISEASE

For more than 4000 years, curcumin’s healthy benefits – like its ability to counter human diseases/conditions like diabetes, cancer, and inflammation - have been known. A new study review highlighted curcumin’s effectiveness in treating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s ALS, and MS. (1) Your Montreal chiropractor specifically appreciates curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties for dealing with osteoarthritis (OA). A chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis isn’t an issue with a sure cure, but curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties excel in their therapeutic value for OA management. Researchers specifically described the chondroprotective effects curcumin has. (2) Up against the usual treatment of OA – NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc. – curcumin had a protective effect against OA with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factors in a study of osteoarthritis rats. One of the several benefits explained in this study was that arthritic conditions as well as serum biomarkers TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, COMP, and CRP decreased after 4 weeks of use. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows our typical, older OA patient who has trouble walking will value this!

THE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF BLUEBERRIES

Not that curcumin isn’t tasty, but blueberries may come to mind as being the tastier of the two! Not a bad thing! Blueberries, too, have anti-inflammatory positive attributes. Rich in bioactive substances in addition to having healthy properties - anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-cancer blueberries are reported to help treat cancer, reduce metabolic syndrome, and protect liver function via their ability to mediate 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 suggested daily blueberry eating may decrease pain, stiffness, and difficulty doing daily tasks as well as improving 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.
