The benefits of turmeric possessing medicinal properties: due to its containing curcuminoids compounds, most notably curcumin; where it is considered the main active component in turmeric, characterized by its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is worth noting that it is difficult to obtain good amounts of curcumin from just consuming turmeric spices, and a greater effect of curcumin can be achieved by taking supplements that contain good quantities of it. Usually, blood absorption of curcumin is weak, but it can be improved by taking it with black pepper, which contains piperine. Fighting aging and diseases that may affect the elderly: as the curcumin in turmeric is used as a dietary supplement to prevent aging, and it also helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer's, heart diseases, and cancer, thus it has a positive effect on extending lifespan. Anti-inflammatory: as curcumin is considered a powerful anti-inflammatory, studies have shown that it has efficacy comparable to some anti-inflammatory drugs. It is an active biological compound capable of fighting inflammation; many studies have indicated the role of curcumin in improving symptoms of arthritis. Additionally, one study conducted on patients with rheumatoid arthritis found that curcumin was more effective compared to anti-inflammatory medications. Alzheimer's disease prevention: it has been found that the compound curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier, and helps prevent oxidative damage and inflammation, which play a role in the development of Alzheimer's. Studies have revealed that this compound helps eliminate amyloid plaques, which are a characteristic feature of Alzheimer's disease. Reducing the risk of depression: it has been found that curcumin has the same efficacy as antidepressant medications; on the other hand, the curcumin compound enhances neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. It is known that depression is associated with shrinkage of the hippocampus, which is responsible for learning and memory, and with decreased levels of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Studies have shown that curcumin boosts the levels of this protein, reducing these brain changes. Cancer prevention: studies have found that curcumin has a role in treating cancer, due to its effect on its growth, development, and spread. Some evidence suggests that this substance can reduce the risk of developing cancer, especially gastrointestinal cancers like colon and rectal cancer, but further studies are still needed to confirm this. Reducing the risk of heart diseases: as curcumin can improve the functions of the endothelial lining in blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is a major cause of heart diseases, causing the inability of this lining to regulate blood pressure and clotting. Many studies indicate that the effect of curcumin is comparable to exercising or taking atorvastatin medications in improving endothelial functions. Additionally, it helps reduce the risk of infections and oxidation, which are factors associated with heart disease. Enhancing the efficiency of antioxidants in the body: as curcumin is an antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals; it can also enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes present in the body, thereby preventing free radical activity and stimulating the body's antioxidants to fight them.
