Scientists have shed new light on how curcumin—a compound found in the curry spice turmeric—can help guard cells against all kinds of disease-promoting damage. For a recently published study, researchers explored curcumin's effects in a series of lab tests. Their findings indicate that curcumin inserts itself into cell membranes and works to make them more orderly. By becoming more disciplined, the study's authors explain, the cells can then more efficiently fight off infection and malignancy.
In past research, curcumin has been shown to deliver antioxidant, antibiotic, and antiviral effects. One 2008 study found that the compound may help reduce risk of heart failure, while another 2008 report suggested that curcumin could help prevent type-2 diabetes.
Practitioners of ayurvedic medicine have long used curcumin in the treatment of inflammation-related conditions, such as arthritis . To include more curcumin in your diet, try sipping turmeric tea or dining on curry dishes.
