Turmeric is considered by many to be a miraculous spice whose numerous amazing health benefits are backed up by science. Most of turmeric’s healing abilities come from its active ingredient known as curcumin, but what you may not have known by now is that whole turmeric can be of aid for brain regeneration, not just the curcumin. Let us learn more.
Turmeric’s Capacity to Regenerate the Brain
Aromatic-turmerone is a fat-soluble ingredient found in turmeric and it has been studied for its impact on neural stem cells. One recent study showed that the neural stem cells in laboratory animals elevated in number by as much as 80 percent after exposure to aromatic-turmerone. The laboratory mice experienced healthy new brain cells in the subventricular area and in the hippocampus as well as a significant size development in both of these brain parts.
Aromatic-turmerone is a potent regenerative which can help regenerate the brain and it can be of aid for stroke and Alzheimer’s patients. One of the biggest advantages of this ingredient for the brain is that it does not just encourage stem cell proliferation, but it also has the capacity to differentiate stem cells into neurons, which is known to be a main goal of regenerative medicine.
Although further research is needed to support the findings from non-human studies, there is nothing wrong in introducing turmeric to your daily diet because you have nothing to lose, but a lot to gain. Besides opting for DIY natural remedies with turmeric, you can also add it to your daily diet in numerous ways.
