Turmeric for Cancer Prevention

101 9
Turmeric is a popular Indian herb and can do some great things with preventing cancer. The disease cancer is sort of a controversial topic because not everyone has the same opinion on how it is created and how to stop it. The basics about cancer are that there are certain things that are proven to increase the risk of this disease.  Can you guess what some of them are?

The easiest one to guess would be smoking, yes tobacco can increase the chance of someone getting cancer and I believe it says that on a package. The other one is a processed foods. The way I look at it is that humans were not eating processed foods thousands of years ago and only recently we have introduced it in our diets, so our bodies have a hard time coping with it. Other common things that can increase the chance of someone getting this disease would be getting to much sun, having a family history of cancer, getting older and being overweight.

Turmeric has been around for over 2,000 years and has its history in India as a dye. The good news is that some health professionals believe that considering weight, few spices can compare to the healing power of turmeric. The health benefits are fairly huge. The anti-inflammation and anti-bacterial properties can assist with arthritis, skin care, cleaning someone's system, assisting with heartburn, protection from Alzheimer's, depression and diabetes to name just a few great things this spice can do.

When it comes to cancer there is some positive evidence that it can be a big help. Of course not everyone is a 100% in an agreement that this herb can prevent or stop this ailment and research is still taking place right this second. There are some physicians that believe that among all nutrients curcumin has the most research based evidence to support it (that is a fairly bold statement).

In one research this spice reduced a brain tumor called glioblastoma in over 80% of animals that had cancer. In 2009 a study concluded that curcumin told lung cancer cells to die, and another study discovered that this substance inhibits pancreatic tumor growth.  

The reason turmeric is a great for cancer prevention is because it can affect over 600 genes and tons of various pathways into cells. Also because cancer cells grow out of control, inflammation occurs and turmeric has a lot of anti-inflammatory properties that help. Other ways that that this nutrient can help is that it can prevent blood flow from feeding cancerous cells, help your body destroy them, and prevent cells from turning into tumors and it can slow tumor growth.

If you're going to use a supplement to get the benefits for turmeric there are a few things you should look for. A company that has been around for a long time and has over a thirty day money back guarantee is always a great thing to have. Also a company that has pharmaceutical GMP compliance products is very good because it ensures the manufacturing standards are very high. There are a few more things that are important to look for as well and if you're interested www.increasemyhealth.net goes into this topic in much more detail.
