Rosenberg Wellness Center Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of consumption. That’s quite a history! Curcumin claims it. (Chiropractic delights in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India gives much data to researchers to examine just what an influence it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory property is gaining credit for positive effect on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Rosenberg Wellness Center continues to study curcumin’s beneficial role in potential inflammation and New York City back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has an expansive history of use over 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use in present day for its ability to modulate levels of various brain neurotransmitters as well as stopping cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers speculated that curcumin could be a “future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders. They requested additional clinical studies back then to place curcumin into therapeutic use because of its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia, major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may add to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or halt reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your New York City chiropractor understands the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and appreciates the potential curcumin has in dealing with cell death and decreasing inflammation and thereby reducing New York City back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the best way to incorporate curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is reported to offset diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A recent report on curcumin reveals the role curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). In an effort to bring more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors present the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Rosenberg Wellness Center knows many New York City chiropractic patients would like the simpler supplementation route which is quite easy and effective. Rosenberg Wellness Center will suggest what is right for you and your New York City chiropractic treatment plan.
