Curcumin Can Protect Your Nerves And Spinal Column
Turmeric is striking a chord in the health world. Researchers say the spice may be able to help protect the spinal cord.
Researchers are giving the credit to curcumin, a component of turmeric that has been associated with brain functioning and nerve-cell growth.
“While surgery can relieve the pressure and prevent further injury, it can’t repair damage to the cells and nerve fibers,” noted researcher Dr. Langston Holly, an associate professor of neurosurgery at the UCLA School of Medicine. “We wanted to explore whether dietary supplementation could help the spinal cord heal itself.”
“The brain and spinal cord work together, and years of research demonstrate that supplements like DHA and curcumin can positively influence the brain,” added co-author Fernando Gomez.
