Protect Your Brain from Parkinson's Disease with Turmeric

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that progressively worsens over time. It typically develops in older people as a result of damage in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra. Symptoms include speech and walking problems. Fortunately, many of the beneficial compounds in turmeric may offer safe and effective herbal help. ^{(iv.31-32, 100)}

Chronic inflammatory conditions contribute to the causes of Parkinson's disease. Decades of research indicate that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric and its compounds (especially curcumin) can help protect your brain from many of the causes of Parkinson's. ^{(iv.3-4, 6, 10)}

Turmeric's benefits include preventing or reducing the effects of some of the inflammatory conditions associated with metabolic syndrome, which can contribute to the development of Parkinson's. Turmeric compounds may even help counteract genetics that increase the risk of developing Parkinson's. ^{(iv.3-4, 6, 10)}
