From my last post i talked on the characteristics of turmeric, today we will be looking at its benefits for bones
Prevents Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass/density and loss of bone tissue that basically makes the bones fragile and weak.Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the removal of old bone. If you have osteoporosis, you have an increased risk for fractured bones (broken bones), particularly in the hip,wrist and spine.
The first benefit of turmeric for bones is that it prevents osteoporosis. It is based on a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed that turmeric is a herb that protects bones against osteoporosis. Besides, studies have also shown that curcumin in turmeric prevents the osteoclastogenesis or formation of bone resorbing cells that lead to the osteoporosis. Moreover, it was pointed that this ability will depend on how much of curcuminoids presented in turmeric. At this point, curcumin can prevent 50% of bone loss in the animal model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. few symptoms that need urgent attention
