Winter getting you down? - About Health | Blog
When you are sick, it means your body is trying to get back into balance and flush toxins out of your system. Taking supplements can actually help your immune system’s natural response to free radicals, which strengthens your natural ability to heal.
Fortunately, there is a lot more information on specific nutrients that can supercharge your immune system and you don’t have to look any further than your kitchen!
Turmeric is one of the foods with the highest antioxidant properties. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, can help support your immune system. Over time, the path of stress on your body may play out in sub-optimal energy and ability to bounce back from daily demands, but turmeric can help bring balance to this specific pathway in your body, making it suitable for wear and tear on the joints and helping to boost your immunity.
Curcumin is responsible for having these profound effects on your body, because it is now a well-known antioxidant, and antioxidant protection is a necessity for modern-day living. Curcumin has healthy cell protective properties that search and prevent free radical burdens in your body.
Curcumin has been rated as having similar cell-protective properties to other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, which both curb the free radical reactions in your body. The effects of curcumin are likened to that, because curcumin works at curbing the same pathways in your body that may lead to stiff, tired joints.
