Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of consumption. That is some history! Curcumin has it. (Chiropractic enjoys its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India provides much data to researchers to investigate just what an influence it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory property is finding recognition for positive effect on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries remains interested in curcumin’s positive role in potential inflammation and Manchester back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin holds a long history of use over 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use in present day for its ability to control levels of a variety of brain neurotransmitters in addition to preventing cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers speculated that curcumin may well 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 more clinical studies back then to put 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 contribute to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to reduce or halt reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Manchester chiropractor knows the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values the potential curcumin possesses in addressing cell death and decreasing inflammation and thus decreasing Manchester back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to integrate curcumin for maximal benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is reported to counteract diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A new report on curcumin reveals the role of curcumin in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). To effect more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases.
