Turmeric (Curcumin) is a Natural Anti-Inflammatory Compound

Inflammation is incredibly important.

It helps the body fight foreign invaders and also has a role in repairing damage.

Without inflammation, pathogens like bacteria could easily take over our bodies and kill us.

Although acute (short-term) inflammation is beneficial, it can become a major problem when it is chronic (long-term) and inappropriately deployed against the body’s own tissues.

It is now believed that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in almost every chronic, Western disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and various degenerative conditions.

Therefore, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating these diseases.

It turns out that curcumin is strongly anti-inflammatory, it is so powerful that it matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs.

Curcumin actually targets multiple steps in the inflammatory pathway, at the molecular level.

Curcumin blocks NF-kB, a molecule that travels into the nuclei of cells and turns on genes related to inflammation. NF-kB is believed to play a major role in many chronic diseases.

Without getting into the gory details (inflammation is extremely complicated), the key takeaway here is that curcumin is a bioactive substance that fights inflammation at the molecular level.

In several studies, its potency has compared favorably to anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical drugs… except without the side effects.

Bottom Line: Chronic inflammation is known to be a contributor to many common Western diseases. Curcumin can inhibit many molecules known to play major roles in inflammation.

Turmeric Contains Bioactive Compounds With Powerful Medicinal Properties

Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color.

It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb.

Recently, science has started to back up what the Indians have known for a long time… it really does contain compounds with medicinal properties.

These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin.

Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

However, the curcumin content of turmeric is not that high… it’s around 3%, by weight.

Most of the studies on this herb are using turmeric extracts that contain mostly curcumin itself, with dosages usually exceeding 1 gram per day. It would be very difficult to reach these levels just using the turmeric spice in your foods.

Therefore, if you want to experience the full effects, then you need to take Powdered Turmeric that contains significant amounts of curcumin.

Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps to consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine, a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2000%.

Curcumin is also fat soluble, so it may be a good idea to take it with a fatty meal.

Turmeric lattes are winning the West. We know them as haldi doodh. (Hindustan Times)

• HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times, New Delhi

The drink that was thrust down your throat when you were young and unwell is the latest hipster fixation in the West. Golden milk or turmeric latte may not mean much to you but it is being ordered with an uncanny regularity in cafes in America, South Africa, Australia and UK.

You know the drink as the humble haldi ka doodh. Yes, the same pungent-smelling milk, probably with a spoon of ghee in it, which was considered a remedy for a host of ills – sore throat, fever, aches and pains and don’t forget its anti-inflammatory properties.

Guardian has named it the “ 2016’s drink of choice”. In a new report on food trends in the US, Google singled out turmeric’s ascent after searches for the spice increased by 56% from November 2015 to January 2016.

“And fuelling that rise is its use in lattes: ‘golden milk’ is among the top online searches associated with the spice. Turmeric lattes are now being sold at cafes from Sydney to San Francisco, and the drink is gaining fans in the UK,” Guardian reported.

Cold-pressed turmeric juice is mixed with juice from almonds and cashews and is being marketed as a healthy alternative to caffeinated drinks. Chefs are also experimenting with turmeric in cookies and health drinks.

But how did turmeric come out of nowhere and climbed on the “food to watch out for” pedestal? Guardian says, “The market research firm Mintel named turmeric as one of its foods to watch in 2016. It has done the rounds of the wellness circuit – the blogs, websites and Instagram accounts of “clean eating” advocates – for several months, and recipes for the drink abound on Pinterest.”

In case you are interested, here’s a recipe for golden milk on Gwyneth Paltrow’s website, Goop.

Even as the West goes gaga over the benefits of turmeric, it is time we also take a refresher course about the spice which can apparently treat everything from cancer to cough. It is said to be rich in antioxidants, its compound curcumin can fight cancer and can lower chances of heart attack. Weight watchers, turmeric also suppresses body fat growth and helps reduce weight.

Now, would you want to try haldi ka doodh at home or wait for an American coffee chain to launch turmeric latte at a store near you ?

Contact us for your "organic turmeric powder" and enjoy the "Turmeric Latte" at your sweet home.

Health Benefits of STEVIA

Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana.

If you are a diabetic or are on a diet, sugar is possibly one of your worst enemies. And to satiate your sweet cravings, you must have tried everything out there only to know that moderation is the key. While you might be aware of the fact that stevia helps in controlling your blood glucose levels and can be used as a natural sweetener, there are many health benefits of stevia you should be aware of. Here is how this natural herb aids in weight loss, controls blood pressure, reduces wrinkles and more health problems.

#1 Lowers your blood sugar levels
stevia contains a compound called steviol glycoside that is not absorbed by the body and cannot be broken down and hence, is flushed out directly. It also stabilizes your blood sugar by increasing insulin resistance, inhibits the absorption of glucose and promotes the health of the pancreas.

#2 Controls high blood pressure
According to a study published in the Brazilian Journal of Biology and Technology stevia can lower the blood pressure in people suffering from hypertension. However, the results are seen over one to two years. Hence, people who are more prone to the disease can include it in their diet to prevent hypertension.

#3 Beats dandruff and acne
One of the common health benefits of stevia is treating dandruff and acne naturally. The antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory compounds present in stevia can help you to get rid of acne and dandruff.

#4 Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Stevia contains a compound called retinoic acid that thwarts the progression of wrinkles [4]. It works by inhibiting the breakdown of skin cells mainly collagen and elastin.

#5 Helps protect your teeth and gums
As stevia contains antibacterial and inflammatory compounds, it prevents the colonization of bacteria in the mouth and around the gums thereby hindering the formation of cavities and plaque that predominantly contributes to the onset of gingivitis.

#6 Reduces heartburn and indigestion
The presence of specific plant glycosides in stevia soothes an irritated stomach lining and thus, aids in the treatment of indigestion and heartburn.

#7 Aids in weight loss
Stevia is great for weight loss as it contains no calories and can be used a sweetener. You can use it in baked and cooked products as the glycosides present in it, do not break down when cooked. An added advantage of this leaf is that it has the capability of reducing your cravings for fatty foods.

#8 Heals wounds faster

Stevia inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and thus, acts as a powerful natural aid to treat wounds and minor skin infections.

Stevia Leaves are available at AKAL SAHAI ORGANIC FARMS.

Stevia plants at Akal Sahai Organic Farms being irrigated using Drip Irrigation technique

Drip irrigation technique is today’s need because Water – nature’s gift to mankind is not unlimited and free forever. World water resources are fast diminishing. The one and only answer to this problem is Drip Irrigation Systems.

Drip irrigation, saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of many different plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.
