Effect of curcumin on preventing hormone induced breast cancer

After decades of scientific research, it has been found that curcumin, the antioxidant of curcumin, has strong anti-cancer properties The new study adds another disease fighting feature to the mysterious spice What is curcumin? Curcumin can be found in turmeric root, ginger and some other spices It is known to be a powerful anticancer substance, which can prevent many kinds of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease Research from Dalton cardiovascular research center and college in the United States has found another medicinal value of this spice In a recent article published in the journal menopause, it describes how curcumin blocks the carcinogenic effects of hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women Most hormone replacement therapies are formulated for menopause, including the combination of estrogen and progesterone But because it's synthetic, people who eat it increase their risk of breast cancer Progesterone provides cancer cells with opportunities to develop and increases the risk of breast cancer by stimulating blood supply Curcumin reduces blood supply to breast cancer cells and forces them to survive by blocking the production of progesterone stimulating growth factors The anti obesity effect of curcumin coincides with the fact that scientists have found that curcumin can resist obesity while inhibiting the growth of blood vessels Just like fighting cancer cells, the compound also blocks blood supply to new fat cells Through this process, curcumin can effectively reduce the efficiency of fat storage in the body What's more, it makes it easier to lose weight, because once fat cells form, it's hard for the body to clear them It should be noted that curcumin itself is difficult to be used by the body, which means its bioavailability is very low This is because enzymes in the gut and liver break it down first before it works Spices that work with curcumin are fortunate to have compounds in other spices, such as piperine from black pepper, that increase the bioavailability of curcumin Since it is difficult to obtain the best prevention and treatment effect of curcumin in capsule form, it is better to use it with other spices when cooking, so as to obtain the maximum benefit.
