Benefits of turmeric for health :

Prevent cancer

Turmeric contains antioxidant curcumin (an orange-forming agent in turmeric) to protect colon cells from free radicals that can damage DNA. Curcumin also helps the body to destroy cancer cells, so they can not spread throughout the body that can make more damage. The main way curcumin does it is by improving liver function.

Anti Inflammation

In turmeric there is a volatile oil content that acts as an anti-inflammatory. This is because the orange pigment of turmeric is called curcumin. Curcumin is considered the main pharmacological agent in turmeric.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (chronic joint inflammation)

Curcumin in turmeric also provided a very powerful antioxidant effect. As an antioxidant, curcumin is able to neutralize free radicals, chemicals that can be in the body and cause various damage to healthy cells and cell membranes. This is important in many diseases, one of which is arthritis, where free radicals are a cause of painful joint inflammation and damage to the joints.

Increase Antioxidants

Curcumin content of turmeric is one of the powerful antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals because of its chemical structure. In addition, curcumin also increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body itself. In this way, curcumin provides resistance or even kills free radicals.

Improve Liver Function

Turmeric contains curcumin active compound which can trigger the formation of glutathione S transferase. Glutathione S transferase is one of the enzymes that play a role in the process of detoxification or neutralizing toxins in the body. Glutathione S transferase enzyme is also capable of stimulating repair and regeneration of damaged liver cells. Consuming turmeric on a regular basis can prevent liver diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.
