Tasty Fernandina Beach Anti-Inflammatory Goodies: Blueberries and Curcumin

Fernandina Beach patients|Sufferers with inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis (OA) may benefit from tasty additions to their daily diet. Blueberries and curcumin each offer anti-inflammatory benefits that may well help manage their effects. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic values these simple, tasty options to help combat inflammation in addition to the rest of the Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan.

CURCUMIN’S ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMPACT ON DISEASE

For more than 4000 years, curcumin’s healthy benefits – like its ability to counter human diseases/conditions like diabetes, cancer, and inflammation - have been understood. A new review of studies highlighted curcumin’s effectiveness in treating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s ALS, and MS. (1) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor specifically values curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties for dealing with osteoarthritis (OA). A chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis isn’t a condition with a clear cure, but curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties stand out in their therapeutic value for OA management. Researchers specifically noted the chondroprotective effects curcumin offers. (2) Compared to the usual treatment of OA – NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc. – curcumin offered a protective effect against OA with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factors in a study of osteoarthritis rats. One of the multiple benefits explained 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) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic bets our typical, older OA patient who has trouble walking will value 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 in addition to having healthy properties - anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, anti-obesity, anti-cancer blueberries are reported to help treat cancer, reduce metabolic syndrome, and protect liver function via their ability to intervene in nuclear receptor activity. (4) Blueberries work at the cellular level! They slowed the production of inflammatory factors, particularly TNF, ESR1, AGTR1 and IGF1. (5) Another study suggested daily blueberry eating may reduce pain, stiffness, and difficulty doing daily tasks as well as bettering gait may well improve 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.
