Turmeric Compound Boosts Regeneration of Stem Cells.
The study looked at the effects of aromatic (ar-) turmerone on endogenous neutral stem cells (NSC), which are stem cells found within adult brains. NSC differentiate into neurons, and play an important role in self-repair and recovery of brain function in neurodegenerative diseases. Previous studies of ar-turmerone have shown that the compound can block activation of microglia cells. When activated, these cells cause neuroinflammation, which is associated with different neurological disorders. However, ar-turmerone’s impact on the brain’s capacity to self-repair was unknown.
Ar-turmerone is the lesser-studied of two major bioactive compounds found in turmeric. The other compound is curcumin, which is well known for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
A Tumeric Recipe for the Prevention of Sickness and Disease
Mix 1/4 teaspoon turmeric with half teaspoon of olive oil. At that add greater pinch of fresh milled pepper. These three ingredients, mix in a cup. You can use this mixture itself but it also add a variety of dishes, soups, and salads. Just make sure that if you use them in cooked dishes, that these ingredients do not overcook it too, but adding them to the very end of. If they consume itself, mix them with a little water.
