Tasty Carrolltown Anti-Inflammatory Goodies: Blueberries and Curcumin

Carrolltown patients|Sufferers with inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis (OA) may benefit from tasty additions to their daily diet. Blueberries and curcumin each extend anti-inflammatory benefits that may well assist in the management of their effects. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation appreciates these easy, tasty options to help combat inflammation in addition to the rest of the Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plan.

CURCUMIN’S ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMPACT ON DISEASE

For more than 4000 years, curcumin’s healthy benefits – including its ability to counter human diseases/conditions like diabetes, cancer, and inflammation - have been known. A recent study review highlighted curcumin’s effectiveness in treating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s ALS, and MS. (1) Your Carrolltown chiropractor particularly values curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties for managing osteoarthritis (OA). A chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis isn’t a condition with a clear cure, but curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties excel in their therapeutic value for OA management. Researchers particularly noted the chondroprotective effects curcumin offers. (2) Up against the usual treatment of OA – NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc. – curcumin offered a protective effect against OA with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factors in an osteoarthritic rat study. One of the several benefits described in this study was that arthritic conditions as well as serum biomarkers TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10, COMP, and CRP reduced after 4 weeks of use. (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation bets our typical, older OA patient finds difficulty walking will appreciate this!

BLUEBERRIES’ ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BENEFITS

Not that curcumin isn’t tasty, but blueberries may come to mind as being the tastier of the two! Good thing! Blueberries, too, offer anti-inflammatory positive attributes. Rich in bioactive substances as well as other healthy properties - anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-cancer blueberries are documented to help treat cancer, lower metabolic syndrome, and protect liver function via their ability to mediate nuclear receptor activity. (4) Blueberries work at the cellular level! They slackened the production of inflammatory factors, particularly TNF, ESR1, AGTR1 and IGF1. (5) Another study recommended daily blueberry eating may reduce pain, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily tasks as well as improving gait may well better quality of life for knee OA sufferers who find walking difficult. (6) Blueberries are tasty picks to add to your nutrition plan for those suffering with inflammation.
