Can Turmeric be used as treatment for Cholesterol-caused complications?

 


People use turmeric in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments. It is a common element in many cuisines. According to research, it might be a secure and convenient technique to assist in lowering cholesterol and lowering the risk of heart-related illnesses.

The root of the Curcuma longa plant, a perennial member of the ginger family, is where turmeric, also known as the "golden spice," is derived. Its peppery flavor, unique aromatic perfume, and bright yellow hue make it a familiar spice and a key component of curry powder.

Numerous studies have looked at how turmeric and curcumin affect several biological components, including cholesterol.

FOOD CATEGORY

A waxy molecule called cholesterol is consumed from several animal meals and is generated by the liver. The "good" cholesterol known as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may aid in heart health. LDL cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, can accumulate in the arteries and narrow them.

A person's chance of developing heart-related diseases like coronary artery disease, stroke, and heart attack might increase if they have high levels of LDL and triglycerides, another hazardous type of fat.

A 2017 meta-analysis looked into the effect of turmeric on cholesterol levels in the blood. It observed that when compared to the control group, turmeric and curcumin dramatically decreased blood LDL and triglycerides.

70 volunteers participated in a 2018 study to see whether eating phytosterols and curcumin together could lower cholesterol. Phytosterols are found in food sources such as nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes. According to the findings, consuming curcumin combined with dietary phytosterols may enhance their ability to decrease cholesterol.

Curcumin may be a helpful supplemental therapy, the researchers concluded.

Studies on the effects of curcumin on cholesterol were the subject of a 2021 review. More than two two-thirds of the studies showed that curcumin significantly lowered one kind of fat. Studies that employed curcumin in a bioavailable form found superior results for decreasing cholesterol.

Overall, the impact of turmeric on cholesterol is encouraging, but further studies are required to substantiate its health advantages.
