Curry powder or turmeric powder in a bowl

A liver compassionate who has decided that turmeric extract drink before drinking and curry rice for lunch the next day. Anti-Aging Masagura-san decides to take turmeric supplement every day because it can be used for measures against active oxygen and prevention of dementia.

Turmeric has been loved so much, but at one point there was a rumor that turmeric had no effect.

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that drinking turmeric before a drinking party doesn't seem to work.

It's been three years since the "turmeric turmoil might not work".

This time, I was worried as a drinker to find out how the position of turmeric has changed in recent years, and whether it really is useful or not.

The effect of turmeric that has been used since ancient times in the super science "Ayurveda"

Wallpaper reminiscent of Ayurveda

PrehistoricAyurveda is a traditional Indian medicine that is said to have originated in. It was a surgical technique that was born in the age of no letters, and it was handed down from mouth to mouth over the years.

*Prehistoric age refers to the period from approximately 500 million years ago to 6 years ago.

What is Ayurveda that recognized the preventive medicine effect of turmeric

Ayurveda is SanskritCompound word of Ayur "life" and Vedic "truth"so,

Super health management system that means "knowledge for longevity"

 

Even those who have never heard of Ayurveda know yoga, meditation, fasting, and detoxing.

These modern principles of health, beauty, anti-aging, etc. have been passed down by Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda, there are therapies that use plants, animals, minerals, etc., but there is also the “use alcoholic beverages” therapy that is pleasing to liquor lovers.

Alcohol is one of the health laws in Ayurveda

Ayurveda has introduced several types of recommended liquor, some of which are fermented by adding rice flour. Does this mean that Japanese sake has something to do with Ayurveda?

Ayurveda does not say that "small amounts of alcohol are bad for you". We know that putting up when you want to drink has a bad effect on your mind and body.

Ayurveda has been supporting the physical and mental health of humans since time immemorial. Turmeric (Turmeric=Indo-Saffron) was used in preventive medicine and treatment in such a great Ayurveda.

Effect of curcumin, which contains only a few% of turmeric = turmeric

In Japan, it is known as "turmeric", but its English name is "turmeric." So is there a difference between the two?

The difference between turmeric, turmeric and curcumin

There are over 50 types of turmeric.

The origin of turmeric is "Ukkon", but among turmeric, which is a generic name including spring turmeric and purple turmeric,Autumn turmeric is a bright orange-golden color. Therefore autumn turmeric is close to turmericIt has been with.

Turmeric has little bitterness and polyphenolsIt is rich in curcumin, which is one of the medicinal properties. Curcumin is said to contain up to 5% in turmeric, and it is the element that creates the golden color of our favorite curry.

*Polyphenol has an antioxidant effect that changes harmful substances such as active oxygen into harmless substances.

Turmeric effect

Turmeric is famous for hangover prevention in Japan, but it has other notable effects.

Turmeric effect you want to pay attention to
  • Heart disease
  • Alzheimer's dementia
  • asthma
  • Alopecia
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

As above"Slows down the aging process" because it also contains powerful antioxidantsIt was touted, but in 2017 a review was published in a popular magazine that questioned the effect of turmeric.

No effect on turmeric

A man sitting in a chair and handling a laptop seems to be anxious

This review directly confronts and denies studies of turmeric effects to date. "It's dangerous to believe that you can cure all illnesses," said one researcher.

Researchers who believe in turmeric have published numerous studies to make curcumin contained in turmeric a drug, but since 2009, 15 articles have been withdrawn and dozens of articles have been corrected. I also made clear that.

And "of turmericCurcumin is unstable and therefore not bioavailable".

In this review, it is thought that "the theory of no turmeric effect" occurred in Japan.

Also at the National Institutes of Health (US),

  • There are few clinical reviews demonstrating that treatment with Ayurvedic therapy is effective
  • Since it contains herbs and minerals, it is easy to interact with Western medicine
  • High levels of lead and mercury may result in elevated blood levels.

 

For that reason,Consultation with a doctor is necessary when treating with Ayurveda, And draws attention.

So why was the turmeric effect believed?

As a turmeric follower who loves yoga and longs for an Ayurvedic life, it's just a sad announcement... I have been reliant on Ayurveda until now, but I am sick of it. Then, is Western medicine facing Ayurveda perfect?

Drugs used in Western medicine, which are often used for disease prevention and treatment, increase the resistance of pathogens when used in too large a quantity, and may further evolve into a situation that science cannot keep up with. It is also said that no drug has side effects.

 

Turmeric effect confronting Western medicine

However, turmeric, which has been used as a remedy for a long time, has less of the above risks,A long history of use as an anti-inflammatory agent, antioxidant, antibacterial agent, liver protectant, immunostimulant, antiseptic and antimutagenic agent.

It is said that it not only eliminates pathogenic bacteria that damage health but also purifies the mind and keeps the mind normal.

Even scholars who read a negative review on turmeric had a sympathetic view that "turmeric is a complex substance to be elucidated", so it was rejected because it was not clinically proven. Is it okay?

However, I will introduce it because the BBC is doing an interesting experiment on turmeric though it is simple.

BBC conducted human experiment with turmeric! Check the effect

Scooping curry in a small plate with a spoon

BBC recruited 100 volunteers and conducted a 6-week experiment.

The contents are

  1. Group eating 1 teaspoon turmeric powder daily
  2. A group of turmeric supplements containing the same amount as 1
  3. Group taking placebo tablets

 

Divided into oxidative stressIs a measure of the amount of.

*Oxidative stress is involved in the etiology of lifestyle-related diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic diseases, and malignant tumors. Oxidative stress is generally considered to be harmful, but since it also plays an important role in the body, the general view is that it is a state in which the oxidative power exceeds the antioxidant system.

Oxidative stress was at the same level in all three groups, but DNA analysis revealed changes in group 3. that is,

Altered activity of genes associated with risk of depression, anxiety, asthma, eczema, and cancer

 

It was what I was doing.

The BBC says it's too early to determine whether turmeric is working positively or negatively for our health in this situation.

However, there are reports that turmeric has traditionally provided the above-mentioned risk improvement, so it is considered that turmeric was still useful, and it may be considered a good experiment.

By the way, group 1 did not eat powdered turmeric as it was, but used it for various dishes. Maybe it was fried in oil or cooked with spices such as black pepper. The recipe is probably curry that British people love!

In BBC, in one sentence,

if you needed it, is a good excuse to have a curry!

 

As I added, turmeric before drinking, curry on the next day, may be correct...♪ When I feel better, I will investigate further.Turmeric is also effective for intestinal activity'
The review discovery with!

Moreover, it is a study that has already been clinically tested.

Elucidation of the turmeric effect paradox!? Disease reduction by changing the composition of intestinal microflora

Illustration of healthy and weakened intestines

"The intestine is the second brainAs it is said, it does not just work to absorb and discharge nutrients.

Contains 1 billion to 100 trillion bacteria per gram, andThere are over 100 trillion bacteria of 100 types in the whole intestineThe intestines said to be.

In a study investigating how turmeric affects intestinal bacteria,

Turmeric is involved in increasing the number of intestinal bacteria

 

Things are recognized. AndEffects of turmeric on intestinal bacteria affect the whole bodyIt is concluded that it suggests that.

There is not enough confirmation that turmeric is good for your health, but this study

Gastrointestinal health affects general health

 

This is a great nod to anyone who thinks.

Turmeric is also effective for the liver

Pour sake into a glass in a basin

What I like most about drinking is the effect of turmeric on the liver. Is turmeric before drinking really working on the liver?

Regarding this, I will introduce the results of research on humans.

This study was conducted with curcumin, which boasts a 27-fold higher absorption rate than regular curcumin. as a result,

As a result of having an adult man take highly absorbed curcumin 30 minutes before drinking alcohol, blood acetaldehyde was significantly higher than that of those who did not.The concentration was suppressed

 

I am happy to hear that.

* Acetaldehyde is believed to cause hangovers. When you drink alcohol, alcohol is decomposed in the liver into acetaldehyde, but if you overdose and cannot keep up with the decomposition, hydrogen peroxide is generated, which causes oxidative stress. Acetaldehyde is also known to be carcinogenic. The proper amount of sake recommended by the government is 1 go for sake and 200 ㎖ for wine.

Normal,Curcumin of turmeric is poorly digested and absorbed in the body, so it is used by adding piperine, which is a black pepper ingredient.But here there is no piperine.

Now, it seems that you may be interested in lamenting that you have forgotten many things recently.Turmeric effect against Alzheimer's diseaseWhat is going on?

Is there a little turmeric effect in India where there are few Alzheimers?

Is there a little turmeric effect in India where there are few Alzheimers? Indian talking with

Curcumin prevents the brain accumulation of Alzheimer-causing amyloid β plaquesIt is said that there are few Alzheimer's patients in India who eat a lot of turmeric, but there are many studies that question it.

Although there are many studies in animals and containers, there are no clinical trial results in humans.

However, the highly absorbed curcumin introduced in the above-mentioned turmeric and liver case was actually verified in humans.

What is the relationship between the turmeric effect and Alzheimer?

The clinical trial was conducted by dividing 40 non-demented elderly people (51 to 84 years old) into two groups and taking highly absorbable curcumin capsules and placebo capsules for 2 months. As a result, the following effects have been confirmed from the group that took high-absorption curcumin capsules.

  • Inhibition of amyloid beta and tau protein binding to the hypothalamus of the brain
  • Helps maintain memory (verbal memory, visual memory) that is part of cognitive function

 

The results of this experiment were then registered in the US Clinical Trials Registry (Clinicaltrials.gov) and subsequently published as a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.

Now, the turmeric used in clinical trials is different from general turmeric,High absorption typeCurcumin.

*In general, turmeric has the drawback that it is difficult to be digested and absorbed, but in recent research, the view that "Activates intestinal bacteria even if it is not digested" is common, so for that purpose May be taken in.

If you really want to take curcumin of turmeric efficiently, you may want to use high absorption curcumin.

For those who do not need expensive supplements, turmeric + black pepper improves the effect

Curcumin contained in turmeric tends to be eliminated immediately without being absorbed. Piperine contained in black pepper to eliminate its drawbacksAccording to the combination, the serum curcumin concentration increased within 1 hour.

The combined use of turmeric and piperine (extracted from black pepper) increased the blood concentration of curcumin in rats and humans 1-2 hours after ingestion.

*Be careful because piperine may affect the metabolism of drugs used to treat epilepsy.

Summary: Know that turmeric has side effects as well as benefits

The US National Institutes of Health warns that turmeric may contain heavy metals such as lead. What about domestic turmeric?

When I searched for articles on the heavy metal content of turmeric in Japan, I found an article in which Shizuoka Prefecture independently made detailed research presentations on turmeric.

According to that article,

  • The curcumin content of commercially available turmeric foods (tablets, drinks, teas, etc.) was examined, and there was a difference of about 10 times depending on the brand.
  • There was a large difference in digestion and absorption
  • No residual pesticides or heavy metals were included

 

It is said.

And before you buy turmeric supplements, we recommend you to check the content of ingredients, digestion and absorption.

Curcumin has been shown to be beneficial in pathology because the lab uses pure, additive-free curcumin. However, since commercially available turmeric supplements may be composed of various concentrations of curcumin and additives, please read the label carefully and do not purchase if in doubt.

Turmeric is also said to affect people taking anticoagulants, antiplatelets, antacids, and chemotherapy and blood pressure medications. Please note that it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding as well.

Turmeric is popular in Japan for hangover prevention and liver detoxification,In Ayurveda, there is a limit of "Intake according to individual ability, together with appropriate dose, appropriate time, and healthy food".Don't forget that!
