Perhaps you have heard about the healing benefits of turmeric. Many studies have emerged which indicates its effectiveness in preventing various cancers including breast cancer.
So just why is turmeric so potent?
For one thing, Turmeric helps to eliminate toxins from the liver. This helps prevent the accumulation of carcinogens. Turmeric is also a very effective anti-inflammatory. Because inflammation is part of the progression of cancer, this serves as a powerful component. Turmeric is also an anti-oxidant and effectively stimulates the immune system.
As if that weren’t enough, turmeric specifically helps fight breast cancer in two ways. First, turmeric helps the body process estrogen-like chemicals that later lead to an increase in cell division and possibly beast cancer. It also blocks a particular enzyme (COX-2) that has been found responsible for breast cancer.
So how can you start reaping the benefits of turmeric? Look for the powdered root in your local health food store. Be sure that you buy high quality, organic turmeric and not just what the grocery store happens to have on its shelves. There are also capsules available for your convenience.
