Turmeric may help boost heart health: Study
Consuming
curcumin -- the active compound in turmeric
-- may improve exercise capacity in patients with heart failure, a study
claims.
Curcumin
has been
used as a traditional Asian medicine for centuries, primarily to treat
gastrointestinal ailments and skin wounds, said researchers from the University
of Nebraska in the US.
Studies
increasingly suggest that the compound may prevent or limit muscle wasting
associated with a number of health conditions, including heart failure, they
said.
People
with heart failure have a reduced function of the left ventricle -- the chamber
of the heart that pumps blood out to the rest of the body -- called reduced
ejection fraction.
A
decreased ability to exercise or exercise intolerance is another significant
characteristic of heart failure, according to the study published in the
Journal of Applied Physiology.
The
researchers theorised that a reduction in the normal signalling of Nrf2, a
protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant enzymes, may play a role
in the impaired expression of antioxidant enzymes. Read
