Hollstrom & Associates Inc Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of consumption. That’s some history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic delights in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India offers much data to researchers to see just what an impact it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin‘s anti-inflammatory property is finding recognition for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Hollstrom & Associates Inc continues to study curcumin’s positive role in potential inflammation and Largo back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin holds an expansive history of use going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use in present day for its ability to modulate levels of a variety of brain neurotransmitters along with preventing cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Back in 2010 researchers posited 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 called for additional 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 add to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to slow or stop reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is beneficial. (3) Your Largo chiropractor knows the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values the potential curcumin possesses in dealing with cell death and decreasing inflammation and thereby reducing Largo back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to incorporate curcumin for maximal benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is reported to offset diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A new 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 order to bring more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the researchers present the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes regarding the use of curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows many Largo chiropractic patients will go the supplementation route as it’s simple and effective. Hollstrom & Associates Inc will suggest what’s right for you and your Largo chiropractic treatment plan.
