Preventing heart disease is just one of the many health benefits of this spice. The healing properties of the plant Curcuman Longa have been used for thousands of years in both the Indian and the Chinese cultures.

Ancient protection

Long before NSAID’s were invented the ancient civilisations of Asia have been enjoying potent protection against many diseases by using safe and natural herbs and spices. It is believed that Indians have the lowest rate of Alzheimer’s disease in the world and this low number has been put down to their diet because it is rich in spices that contain turmeric curcumin.

The phyotchemical that are in this plant are normally extracted once the rhizomes have been dried out and crushed. Extracts have been used by scientists for clinical studies to study their effect upon different organs of the body.

Clinical Results

One area of these tests have been to do with the heart muscles and the results that have come back on the cells and lab animals that were tested have been the following:

It prevented heart failure in two rodents by

1. By stopping the heart walls thickness and diameter from enlarging 2. Prevented deterioration of systolic function (pressure at which blood is pumped from left the side of the heart)

It is believed that it is able to do this by turning off certain genes that actually cause the heart to enlarge and that also causes scarring.

The result is then that it has shown not only prevention of heart failure but also repair to damaged heart tissue.

Supplements

Last year a friend of mine introduced me to the benefit of taking this spice as part of a nutritional supplement that contains over 70 life enhancing ingredients that are expertly blended to work synergistically to give the body the best protection against all manner of diseases that come with aging. Some of these ingredients include resveratrol, decaffeinated green tea extract, ginko biloba, aloe vera and many others.

I love taking these supplements every day and I have noticed that I have improved energy, clearer skin and improved sleep I also have the peace of mind knowing the company who make them stand by with a rock solid money back guarantee that they contain no harmful ingredients whatsoever and that they work.
