February 4th marks World Cancer Day - initiative led by Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to raise awareness, improve education and promote prevention.
I’m a strong believer that prevention is better than cure and have been advocating TURMERIC SHOTS for last 10 years.
To me turmeric root is one of the strongest natural medicines out there.
I’m delighted there are more people who share my juicy view 🌱
‘Numerous human and animal studies have explored turmeric’s influence on cancer, and many have found that it can affect cancer formation, growth and development at a molecular level. Research has shown that it can reduce the spread of cancer and can contribute to the death of cancerous cells in a variety of cancers, and can reduce the negative side effects of chemotherapy.
Turmeric might be brain food
There is growing evidence that curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier and may help to protect against Alzheimer’s disease. It works to reduce inflammation as well as the build-up of protein plaques in the brain that are characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease sufferers. There is some evidence that curcumin can help in depression and mood disorders. Turmeric supplements lowered depression and anxiety symptoms and depression scores in multiple trials[3].
