Apart from giving food its yellow colour, science is backing what Indians have known for a long time, that turmeric contains compounds with medicinal properties. Curcumin, the main compound, has been found to have powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is also a very strong antioxidant.
Inflammation is the body's normal response to injuries or infections. Cells of the immune system travel to the sites of injury or infection and cause inflammation. The four signs of inflammation include warmth, redness, swelling and pain.
Without the inflammatory response, which is directly linked to immunity, foreign invaders could easily take over your body and kill you. Inflammation, when left untreated, becomes a major problem inappropriately attacking the body's own tissues.
Science has found that inflammation plays a major role in almost EVERY CHRONIC DISEASE. And so ANYTHING that can help fight inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating disease.
